He focused in the right direction. I think all the guys saw T.J. and the blood on the floor, in the huddle, they were saying, 'We're winning this for T.J.' No one puts one of our players down intentionally or unintentionally. I'm not saying it was intentional. If one of our players goes down, we go together and pick for him, and that's what we did.

It's huge. It puts us right back in it. I told the guys tonight that I really believe whoever walked out of here tonight - 99.9 percent - was going to be the league champion. I just firmly believed that. I think we're going to step out and after (the second round of league play).

I loved the red, white and blue ball. I had a brand-new one almost every year. I loved how when you got nice rotation on it, it was nothing but white.

That's a good player. He knew he needed to pick it up. He knew he needed to take over and that was what he did. He handled the ball when he needed to. He made sure we attacked the basket when we needed to. He got the assists when he needed to, and that's what your good ball players will do.

I think the guys here love basketball as much as they love anything else. The deal is there's a lot of diversity up here. There's a lot of interests pulling at you. There are other sports that tug at different athletes. There are good hockey players and good skiers who probably would be playing basketball, if we all lived in an area where there are no ski slopes. But that's the way it is.

They're starting to learn what it takes to play a good ballgame. I thought we did a pretty good job. We were behind all night, but we were within reach the whole night. All of a sudden we made some key steals. We were putting some pressure and we made some good baskets.

Oh, baby, the Huskies are in March Madness.

Obviously, it's going to be an emotional night because it's our Senior Night, but we have to come ready to play. We've got to not think about anything else. We have to worry about our own selves. Where the chips fall, the chips fall. We can't worry about what Glenwood's doing.
