"That's exactly what we did - we were so prepared for that game and to lose that game was heartbreaking, but we knew that we didn't have time to dwell on it and we couldn't just hang our heads and feel sorry for ourselves because Edinboro was waiting for us," Denny continued.
"I was upset for that night and I woke up the next morning and it was just all about Edinboro and just getting ready for that game."
Frogley said he felt the same way.
"We stepped and we grew from yesterday to today," Frogley said. "We grew … we wanted 50 hours of our best basketball, we wanted to be able to play our best game, we wanted to do what champions do. I think we learned how to do that, I think we learned how to do that today."
And the team is excited about next year, too, because they aren't losing any players and are gaining some new recruits.
"I was talking to (Whitewater Coach) Tracy at half court after the game," Frogley said to the team after the tournament. "He's like, 'Hey next year, you and I, championship game.' I said, 'we'll be there. We'll be there. Make sure you can carry your end of the bargain.'"
