backing brought defense fight hard instead letting locker second step tougher
When we went in the locker room, we said we weren't pushing. We weren't getting as hard after them as we should. In the second half, we brought the fight to them. Instead of backing down and letting them do what they want to do, we made them step up and play -- play defense and make tougher shots.
good shot utah winning
I think we have a good shot about going to Utah and winning the game.
expected fell
We fell short, but no one expected us to be here. No one, no loss, can take away what we did.

We've been overlooked all year long. They were looking to play Gonzaga in their next game, not us.
calm people played seven situation wore
We didn't panic. We have seven seniors. We had been in that situation before. We just had to calm down and be patient. We played 12 people and you could just see them getting tired. We just wore them down.
hearts last played
We just played our hearts out. This could be the last time.
five last minutes pressure score
The score is nothing to us. We keep the pressure on, press, press, press. The last five minutes of the game, we had more energy, fresher legs.
players
We know our big-time players are going to make big-time shot. So we keep pushing.
