00:00Devin, what was the conversation before that final drive?

00:02You guys on the defensive had that opportunity to get that final stop

00:05several times the last couple of years.

00:07What did you guys say to each other?

00:08Just continue to push the main effort that we've been having all game.

00:13We fought hard really, we fought really well, but a very tough game.

00:16I'm just super proud of everybody.

00:18And we just had that same mentality, finish, finish, finish.

00:21What does it mean to you,

00:24for you guys to be the ones to get that final stop?

00:27I think it's a whole, the whole team, it's a collective team.

00:31It wasn't just the defense office put us in a great position to be able to do the things that we did.

00:35So I say it's a team win, but it just feels great.

00:38Lincoln, you talked about sticking to the process in order to win games and become a great road team.

00:43Where does this game kind of fall in that progression?

00:46That's an important step just because, you know, you have to,

00:50you put all these pieces in place and then nothing drives it home like having success.

00:54I mean, nothing does.

00:56And I know I talked to you guys earlier in the week.

00:58I've been a part of some pretty special like road winning streaks and some teams that were really,

01:03really good on the road and they, you have to win some of these like this.

01:07And I think the more the, as this program continues to, to ascend, the more you win these in different types of ways,

01:14the more the confidence of everybody, the ability to win, you hear it all the time,

01:19like a team learning to win or program learning to win or expecting to win.

01:22And you hear that all the time in sports, like that's, that is a real thing.

01:26And, and you keep taking the steps that we've been taking.

01:29You're going to continually put yourself in there.

01:31And once you do it, it can be like the domino effect.

01:34It can, it can really take off.

01:36And so, you know, especially one like this in a night like this and a venue like this.

01:40Like this one.

01:43I know it's healthy.

01:46You're going to be like this one.

01:48We'll be, we'll be, we'll be.

01:49One more time.

01:51We'll be, we'll be.

01:56We'll be, we'll be.

01:58And you know, we're going to be, we'll be, we'll be.

02:01We'll be.

02:03We'll be.

02:04We'll be.
