00:00 Obviously only a couple of days off the Portland game we spoke then but what's sort of been the mood of the group in those last couple of two or three days?
00:07 Yeah, very excited. We have a little closed messenger group too and some of the messages have been getting around, they've been humorous.
00:13 Certainly exciting. Yeah, they just know there's an unbelievable opportunity.
00:18 It's easy to say, you know, we'll make the finals every year and all that stuff, but to win it's pretty hard, but to give yourself a chance is unreal.
00:24 I just think this group can do something pretty special.
00:27 And you've sort of touched on it in the last couple of weeks as well and you've spoken about it a bit at length, but in terms of the advantage that home crowd may well give you on Saturday night, what are you expecting from that point of view?
00:38 400-odd portion of people screaming at us. Yeah, I wouldn't say they're not even planning on getting to Portland.
00:44 They're thriving, you know. Portland came back at us pretty hard in that last quarter.
00:48 We made a couple of key shots and it's amazing what two points can do when 300 people cheer for you.
00:52 They just fall through fatigue and all that stuff and it's just good. It's hard to explain.
00:58 I know you get the inside, it's country basketball, but it just means a lot to the boys to have that support.
01:03 And this is even a message we've been getting during the week, you know, good luck.
01:06 When the tickets come up for sale, it's almost like it's big league stuff. It's really cool.
