COACH ADEDUNTAN'S COMMENTS
"It feels great for them, and one thing I kept saying to them during the stretch was how pleased I was with the way they just kept coming in. It's easy to separate and it's easy to shut down completely, in a really tough stretch like we've been in. Just reminding them of all the good things we have been doing and they stayed believing, stayed connected and there is a new feel and desire in them. I am ecstatic for them because they deserve it."
