[After the game] I was telling our athletic director, Kevin White, I said it felt like a baseball manager. You’re up 2-1, bottom of the sixth, second and third, nobody out, you don’t score. Bottom of the seventh, bases loaded, nobody out, you don’t score. All of a sudden you get to the eighth and ninth inning, it’s still 2-1. And that’s what happened in that ballgame. When we had that 10-point lead, we went to the line a lot, we had a couple of inside things that [we] didn’t score on. That’s why I’m proud of my guys, [because] they had the toughness at the end to still win. They inbounded the ball well, we never turned it over against the press, and then Nolan and Jon hit four big free throws. And then Zoubek made the play of the game in closing out on Trapani and taking him off the 3 where he had to put the ball on the floor because obviously he’s a heck of a shooter. So, for Brian to do that — we made winning plays to win. I just felt that we played better than the score.
