Andy Hastings came up big tonight. He's one of our better free throw shooters and hit them when we needed it.

I did not realize Artie took over that much. He's certainly capable. I'm glad the kids kept playing hard. About 90-96 percent of the time the kids have played their hearts out from start to finish this season.

We took a lot better care of the ball in the second half. And obviously our pressure (helped). I had no idea that was going to cause them that much trouble.

We have greatly improved. It's just that everybody else has too.

I'm very, very happy. We showed good resiliency and a never-give-up attitude; we were tough and physical and grew up as a team tonight.

We are beginning to understand how important (foul shooting) is in a game. We had chances to cut into the lead and we missed foul shots. They started to bring the ball inside to get to the line.
