THE MODERATOR: Joining us on the dais is UCF Head Coach Johnny Dawkins along with Jordan Ivy-Curry and Nils Machowski. Coach?

JOHNNY DAWKINS: Well, it was a hard-fought game. I thought our guys gave a great effort. You tip your hat to Kansas for the way they played. Hunter Dickinson, Zeke Mayo, KJ Adams, those guys are all seniors and have been terrific players for a long time.

I thought our guys did a good job of following the game plan and giving us a chance to win against a team that's very experienced and well coached.

And proud of our guys' overall effort.

Q. Jordan, take me through what was going on in your head when you took that shot at the end of regulation to send this game to overtime.

JORDAN IVY-CURRY: Winning the game, that's it. Just winning the game.

THE MODERATOR: Coach, thank you very much.
