Home court would be huge. It's where we're at our best.

He's such a competitive kid. He's a complete warrior. Every single day in practice he competes at a high level and makes his teammates around him better. He doesn't let us take shortcuts.

I just laughed when I heard it. To have Lawrence mentioned with Duke, Pittsburgh, and Florida just doesn't make sense.

Illinois Wesleyan is extremely physical and they have seven guys who have played together for three years. They came out extremely impressive against Whitewater (an 85-71 win Saturday).

I'm obviously pretty biased, but our kids have done everything they were supposed to do and they deserve to be here. This is what Division III is supposed to be about. It's not supposed to be about huge arenas.

It takes a lot to have that happen, but they have the right makeup, right character and mental toughness. They've stepped up down the stretch in most games, so we're encouraged, but that's a fine line. There's so many great teams out there.

It's very humbling. It's a dream world. It doesn't matter how old you are -- a little kid to now -- you always dream about an undefeated season.

It's been fun because this is new for us and our program. It's been interesting. The kids have handled it very well. They are very level-headed kids. They understand how one game changes things quickly.

It's a dream to have a last game like that, to send our seniors out undefeated in front of a crowd like that. It just took us 20 minutes to get going and get aggressive, but we did.

You don't think about it as a coach at the start of the season to win every single game and receive all this attention.
