"Part of it is being battle-tested..the more you're in those situations [the more you] start to understand the plays you need to make, what you need to do with the basketball, how strong you have to be with the ball...but that's part of the process of learning to be great and learning to be a better basketball program" - Coach Kendrick Saunders on finally winning the close game

"We've played some tough teams so far, and we've been there before. So, it really wasn't anything new for us. We work on late-game situations in practice so the confidence level was high. I don't think any of us doubted for a second that we were going to get this win." Trevor Blondin on the win
