IN LT’S WORDS
“We wanted to win. We wanted to win big. It was a
championship-level game. We didn’t shoot the ball well
at all but we gutted it out. That game was not easy to
win. We came out here on a business trip and we want-
ed to win. Everything we did was geared towards win-
ning. Even at the Thanksgiving dinner we were talking
about the game -- How we were going to play, what we
were going to do. It was something we really couldn’t
get off our minds. To come out there and execute like
that, there’s no better feeling. We knew what type of
game it was going to be from the jump. We knew they
were going to try to come out at our guys, try to go at
Kyle, Jon and Nolan. There was an opportunity on the
floor for the other guys to step up. Myself, Zoubs, and
Miles played really big against their guys and they have
a huge team. We knew that if we played our hearts out
like that, the outcome was going to be a win. No better
feeling. It was a great week.”
