"The best thing is you look at the scoreboard and it says 86-75. We got a lot of confidence with Richard and Greg both in foul trouble a good portion of the game, and Steve not having his best game, and yet he came through down the stretch for us and gave us great leadership. I thought Jacque's best game was tonight. I thought Scot Pollard's best game was tonight. Sean Pearson made a couple of big threes for us. Calvin gave us some lift. I thought Greg Ostertag through the entire tournament was really good. He had some bad moments like all of us, but still he was really effective blocking shots. Nick Proud comes in and hits a free throw. BJ comes in and knocks down two free throws. It was a total team effort. "We told the guys we got what we wanted: we were in the 9:00 game in Madison Square Garden, and since we came this far, let's go ahead and win it. That's what we told them in '89, and it worked tonight, too."
