At halftime I said we've played three really good halves of basketball. We didn't get that fourth half.

We're a lot better than we were when we played them in December. We did more things right than we did wrong tonight. We found that if we got out and pressured them we could force them into some mistakes and I think we forced them into some bad shots.

I'm sure not a lot of rivalries date back that far. The players and the fans really get into it. The kids have grown up with the rivalry, so it means a lot. It starts in junior high and goes through high school.

We played as hard as any team I have seen this year for six minutes. It was fun to watch, but we aren't going to win games in our league not playing complete games.

Honestly, I thought this was the best we've played all year. I feel pretty good about tomorrow night and Monday.

They hit a couple of baskets and we went into a shell. We didn't have a guy who demands the basketball and that's what hurt us.
