Q. On an individual level, all the ups and downs you've had trying to find your way on this team, what was this game like for you and what's this moment like for you to be where you're at now?

MAURICE CALLOO: It's really a blessing, a dream come true. Been dreaming about this since I was a little kid and words can't explain. I'm happy, and I'm happy for my teammates, my coaches, and all the staff, so, yes, sir.

Q. Did you notice Wayne getting emotional at all toward the end of the game at all or, he seemed like he was trying to hold it together pretty well, but I don't know, did you see it?

MAURICE CALLOO: I could just tell that he was happy for us, we have been through a lot of ups and downs as a team and we were able to overcome it and just stick together and today it shows that when we stick together we can achieve anything. So, yeah.

Q. You're going to the NCAA tournament, you're going dancing. How does that feel?

MAURICE CALLOO: It feels amazing. You just said it and it gave me goose bumps, so it put a smile on my face, first thing I did when I got my phone was call my mom, she was happy for me and it's just amazing, it's an amazing feeling.

Q. What was the scene in the locker room like when you guys all got in there?

MAURICE CALLOO: We really haven't went in there we were on the court, but it's been amazing. Everybody's smiling, laughing with each other, telling each other that they love one another and just sharing good positive vibes amongst one another.
