00:00 >> This game, obviously, after the Colorado game,
00:04 we were, just didn't seem right.
00:08 Obviously, we played against a really good team and didn't execute, didn't play well.
00:16 I thought the coaches did a great job of putting a game plan together.
00:19 Our coaches got our players ready to go fight.
00:22 And we went out and really, we just challenged them.
00:28 And we got high character kids and
00:31 I think the character is always revealed during adversity.
00:35 And after the Colorado game, these guys really responded.
00:40 I was really proud of how they fought, but they did it together.
00:44 And you can feel it from the beginning of the game.
00:48 I thought our crowd was great.
00:51 We were able to get that decent lead.
00:53 They cut it to seven in the first half and we built it right back up to 16.
00:59 We just kept playing, kept fighting, executing our defensive game plan.
01:03 Second half came and I just, you always get nervous as a coach on a couple runs,
01:07 couple turnovers, couple bad shots, but our guys seemed consistent,
01:12 fought through it and we gave up 11 points in the last minute, 15.
01:16 [LAUGH] Which didn't make me happy, but for the most part,
01:21 We played a good 40 minutes.
