The guys were really down following that game. I can't blame them. It was a tough one to take.

This is a great feeling. The greatest I've had here. I can't even explain it, but I know one thing, I want to keep on feeling it.

I'll tell you, they came out ready to practice. Nothing much seems to bother these guys. They haven't lost their confidence. And that's good to see. That's only going to make things better.

I like trying to win. But this rivalry, it's just knowing that for one year, we can walk around saying we're the best.

The inside guys started to dominate us a little in the second half. That forced us to have to go a zone, and then their guards hit a couple of 3-pointers that put the game out of reach.

It's really surprising how well he's playing. You see him walking, and he's walking with a limp, and you never would think that he's been able to play like he is. But he's worked his tail off and he's fought to get where he is.

It was kinda crazy going back and forth. We were working the inside-outside game, and when they doubled down we got open shots.

It was amazing. All I wanted was to help (the seniors) beat Mac. It's a great feeling.

The offensive line is just amazing. They made the holes for me and I was able to get through them.

I told the guys to just play good defense and no make (Riley-Smith) put it on the floor and work for a shot. They did that. I'm proud of these guys. I've been preaching to these guys about finishing off games. We finished one off tonight.
