The fact that we ordsprog

The fact that we were in the finals two years in a row is a great thing, ... We put ourselves in a tough position in this series losing Game 1 (69-65 at Mohegan Sun on Sept. 14). I think we're every bit as talented as Sacramento. But they made their breaks for themselves tonight. ... We have been here twice and now we have to figure out a way to get over the hump.

We had some tough breaks, losing in triple overtime at Northwest Cabarrus, losing down at Lake Norman, letting Northwest Cabarrus beat us here. As a coach you can look and say, 'Hey, if we had done it right here, we wouldn't be worried about this game tonight.' We didn't get it done on those nights, but we got it done tonight.

Our guys are tough. They got a lot of heart. I love the way we play. We didn't give up. We came roaring back and I thought we were maybe going to jump in the driver's seat for a minute. Jackson stopped that. Tonight, it just seemed like the breaks went their way, but good teams make their breaks and they made some tonight. They put it on us.

I won't get any sleep tonight. I'm sure I'll think about one possession, one miscue that could've changed the game. This is two years in a row we've made it to the semifinals — we just can't get over the hump.

You do take him for granted. He's very quiet, but his technique is fantastic. His sets are the same every time. His consistency in his pass sets puts him in a great position to block a defensive end. Angles are everything; pass sets are everything. He uses his hands well. You see him every day after practice taking extra sets. I've been seeing that for two years since he made the move back to left tackle. He's physical; he's tough; looks bigger and stronger. When you watch Marvel Smith play the game, you can't help but go 'Wow'. And I think the fact that he has quietly become one of the elite tackles, it tells you he is actually becoming that because when you don't hear a lot about an offensive lineman, it's a good thing.

It feels great to feel what all the other champions have felt, ... Feeling the pain I felt so many years in Sacramento not being able to get over the hump.

Our upperclassmen have experience in big games. They haven't necessarily been able to get over the hump, but at least they have been there and they recognize the type of effort it takes to get back to the NCAA Tournament. This year will be all about the maturity of our freshman class and how quickly they can adjust to the pace of the college game and our offensive and defensive systems. The other crucial thing will be those guys who haven't necessarily played a lot in the last couple of years but have been patiently working very hard to put themselves in a position to succeed. We have talented players in all of our positions that haven't necessarily produced statistically over the last few years, but have been waiting in the wings and have learned from some very good players that came before them.

This particular team has made me very proud of them. The reason is, they certainly could have accepted the fact that losing a great player, a proven player for us, a guy that we all knew could get baskets in key points in the game. Lose that guy and the easiest thing to do is build in excuses.

Having a successful game against Sacramento and having the season series go our way against them, I think does wonders for our confidence going into the playoffs. When you see that kind of balance on the stat sheet ... that's what you have to do against Sacramento.

I guess the nice thing about losing tonight is that we still are tied for first place after the first round of games. We played hard tonight. We didn't lose the game. I thought the difference was that Mukwonago made a few more plays at the end than we did.

[This is the first year the Finals will be a best-of-five rather than a three-game series, and Sun coach Mike Thibault is preparing not to have Whalen, who he says is the team's MVP, for Game 1.] It's more likely she will play in Game 2, ... but if she pulls a Willis Reed on me (tonight), I'll be happy.

Our biggest problem was there was no spacing between those tough games. We kept losing and having to play another great team right away. I still think good schedules make you better in the long run. I don't mind losing because that's how you figure out what's wrong, but you have to do it within reason. She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character.

It's been a tough road so far this season. We've been in every game so far and we just couldn't get over the hump but tonight we did.

Exactly. It's definitely a lot better. We put ourselves in a tough spot coming into this game. We needed this game really bad, and we stepped up to the challenge. Now it's about getting these next two games before the All-Star break [the Sacramento Kings tonight and the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday].
