| 0:37.8 | Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTK. |
| 0:43.7 | J.B., just not disappointing was spice effort? It's not the effort, right? I'm not disappointed |
| 0:48.9 | and these guys in the league's spit. You know, obviously not the way we would have liked it to go on, |
| 0:57.7 | but I'll never be disappointed in their effort. |
| 1:01.1 | They gave us what they had. |
| 1:03.4 | The Cavs just outplayed us tonight, and you give them credit for it. |
| 1:06.9 | Coach, on Malano, Sam Lahn, what is your biggest takeaway about this team |
| 1:10.6 | with everything that you guys accomplished this season? |
| 1:12.6 | This team is awesome, and they're a special group of guys. |
| 1:17.2 | I couldn't be more appreciative of how they allow us to coach them, work with them every single day, the spirit they carry. |
| 1:25.1 | Their willingness to grow, their willingness to sacrifice, And it's a special group. And again, I can't be more thankful than to be a part of this and to be able to work with these guys.

And next year we'll grow and be a better team. J.B., in the third quarter, the cameras had you talking to your team, and you said, |
| 2:18.2 | we've got to find our competitive spirit. |
| 2:20.1 | You told your team that. |
| 2:21.6 | Why wasn't that there tonight? |
| 2:23.5 | Where do you think that? |
| 2:25.2 | Well, I think we had gotten down. |
