It's a lot better going into the tournament on a winning streak than it is on a losing streak. We wanted to put together two good games this weekend and I think we did that. Now we need to see if we can keep things going in the tournament.
Everybody on that team played well today. When you shoot 55 percent from the field, like they did, it's going to be tough.
I didn't do it alone. Coach Boots put me in a position to be successful. He always made sure I was utilizing my strengths and my teammates always helped me out. Throughout my career, we had a great inside-outside combination.
I was in shock when Coach (Dave) Boots told me about it. It's an amazing honor. There are so many good players in the nation. I still can't believe it.
Dustin acted like a veteran quarterback on that. I spun and the ball was right there.
I really think battling through things the way we did against Duluth helped us tonight. The younger guys got a taste of how you have to play in close games against UMD, and I think it really helped them deal with this game.
