Not just but so much off ball action for the shooters, you know, uh you know, we, we felt like we were ready but, uh you know, that they tested us in a lot of different ways, our awareness, our, our rebounding. Um and it, it just, it wasn't there, it wasn't, it wasn't good enough to win the game. Um It's been at a high level this whole run and that's why it just wasn't enough, but this group is great. Uh We proved that and, um, you know, they just got to build on it for next year when you look back at these 10 games, what's gonna stick with you across? It's gonna stick with me the most. Uh just getting momentum and, uh, you know, the I would say to why not us. Um You know, just having, um, you know, the city of Raleigh just, just change, um because of the regular season, no one believed in us. Everyone thought we were done and everyone thought this was over with and uh the fact that we proved so many people wrong, that's the best part of the story. How proud are you of what you've done. The AC C Champs. Can't take that away, rewrote the history here 41 years since they've been as far that feel good right now. But, uh a little while to look back on how you, it's gonna take time, you know, right now, still trying process the, the game. But, uh, you know, I know we all know that what we've done is, um, is something that is significant. Um, you know, it's still gonna take time to kind of process everything. But, uh, we're thankful, thankful to be here. We're blessed for this opportunity. And, um, you know, it was a, you know, it was tough to kind of get going, you know, whenever we did do a good job on the defensive end. Um, you know, it was tough to score an offer and, uh, and vice versa. So, um, you know, besides the game and, you know, it's that it is what it is, it's nothing we could do. But, you know, this group is special and, you know, I fully believe that they're gonna keep building on it and she stays, gonna be special next year. You can see this is your, your final game. Do you feel like now after this run, you leave that she stay better without it at least? Yeah, 100%. Um, our first year here, we only lost four games in conference. Um, it wasn't looking good for anybody. Um, go to the tournament had a decent year, last year, come back this year and I finish in 10th place. Um, and so it's been a roller coaster and to come out and do what we've done. Uh, I mean, it's something that I've always, I always value this, this is special and, um, it's gonna take time before we process everything. But, uh, you know, a special, you know, if you could just, you know, the amount of energy that we, um, and the fact that we've overcome all of that, all of the, the negativity and, and we're planning in the biggest stage in college basketball. That's, that, that makes you thankful. That makes you grateful that you, that you've done that. And, uh, even though we didn't get the result that we wanted, you know, this is bigger than basketball, you know, this stuff carries over to life. So we'll, we'll keep building or they'll keep building, you know, and, uh, you know, the future is bright and Raleigh for sure.
