Bab 314: 1997 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament 2

"What did you think Jake Smith marked you all this game and made 9 blocks?"

"Was it 9? I didn't think it was that many, I can say that neither I nor the team was prepared for it, Smith didn't have a history of blocking this game, our team had planned that I would have more three-point play attempts."

"I was feeling very good and confident in my ability for this game, proof of this is that I still scored 9 points even with Smith making 9 blocks, I can say that Coach Smith and Jake Smith are to be congratulated for coaching this."

They expected to see Francis more nervous, but he was just sad to have lost and admired Jake's skills, so soon someone went to interview Coach Smith to find out why he had Jake defend against Francis in this game.

"Congratulations on winning Coach Smith today."

"Thank you so much, I am very pleased with my players' performance in today's game and happy with the win."
