Reaching the Fab Four - Lonnie Fairfax

With a 68-54 win over Cardinal Stritch on Saturday, Davenport reached the NAIA National Tournament Fab Four for the first time in program history.  Senior Lonnie Fairfax shares his thoughts on reaching this point in the tournament.

Being in the final four means a lot.  At the beginning of every year, all teams make goals to get to this point and even further.  We set those goals and are accomplishing them so far.  Looking back at last year, the feelings were completely different at this point.  We were preparing to head back to Michigan, but this year we get to be a part of the FAB four banquet that is held every year for the final 4 teams left.  We also know that being a part of the final 4 teams is a very big deal, but that wasn’t our initial goal from the start so we still have more work to get done.  We can’t be complacent with just making it here.

The team plays their semifinal game on Monday at 9:00 p.m. EST against #2 Oregon Tech.
