The doctors asked a lot about what had happened. They revisited, if you will, a chronological timeline of what happened before, how she felt.

These guys took care of business starting us out 7-2. That in itself weighed very heavy on the committee.

How intense her role will be now and whether she has a title, we'll determine that in a couple days. My thoughts are she will be a valuable asset whether her title is student coach or not. We look forward to that continued leadership from her.

I don't want to take away from what they've done in San Jose, they've done a great job. But it's not a neutral court. It's an advantage for the two Bay Area schools to play down there.

Being able to recruit the pipeline out of Timberline has been really good for us. The Idaho spud connection has been fabulous.

I just say my hat's off to our fans. But I did see a lot of them leaving early.

I'm very, very proud of the team and the program. It's great to be back in the big dance.

I'm just so proud and happy. This is why we play the preseason we play. We had success in the preseason and these guys came ready to play. Focus has been awesome, hats off to the seniors; the whole team deserves this -- but especially the seniors. This is a great win, and they all played like it too.

These three have been through incredible amounts of adversity, incredible amounts of joy, ups and downs. But they have been so mentally tough. They have grown up before our eyes. For them to have the opportunity to go back to the big dance, I'm just really happy for them.

It was huge. I thought that the players responded well all week in practice, obviously disappointed in giving up one at home after the streak that we had, and we knew that we did not play to our potential.
