This game, we knew that was super important. We wanted to get the outright champion and we didn't want them sharing it with us and we came out here on their home floor and we were the more physical team and we played how we wanted to play. Really? How did you guys bring the fight? You know, you threw the first punch against the team that should have been more desperate you tonight, I mean, it might be teams, more talent than us, but I mean, no team will want to outfight us and no team is hungrier than us. And I think just that approach we've been having all season and just being hungry and trying to get everything that's in front of us leaving no money on the floor. It's been helping us. What can you say about Cormac Ryan's performance? I was tell about he's sick in the head, he's psychotic but having a psychotic guy like that stuff like this happens and we love it. What happened there at the end? You guys, you know, throwing some shade at the crowd? Oh I mean, we love it. Um Y'all know it's a robbery game and they've been giving us a hard time all day, but we came here knowing we were gonna win and we had to let them know about its career. Not just what does that say about his psychotic man. We got a psycho on our team. So it helps when you let's go to him. I mean, credit to coach Davis. He had the hot hand and really we just after he started hitting those shots, I mean, it was his day and that's the luxury of having so many great players on the team. We don't need RJ to go dance 20 every game. Me to score 20. Hey, to score 20 because we can get in so many different ways. How about the start? You guys got off in the week? Ok. Ok. Just a mentality. We came into this game knowing we want to throw the first punch. And obviously me and RJ have been in situations here where it's rough and it's tough. But I mean, all week coach has been preaching us, we gotta throw the first punch, we gotta be the more physical team and that was just our approach and getting out to a lead like that. I mean, we knew we were sure coming up.
