By the end of the freshmen game, there were 2,500 here. Halfway through the JV game, they said there were 3,100. It was pretty electric.

Even when we are not playing our best, we still find a way. We had a lot of different guys step up and make plays when we needed them to.

I don't know if it was a hangover, but we just came out too passive.

Joe's a good player, but he's only a sophomore. His father used to teach at Okemos, so I had a feeling he'd have a big game for us.

Okemos was playing really well, and that had a lot more to do with it than us playing poorly. They were all over us; we couldn't buy a shot. But Tyler Reed played awfully well, and Joe Powers came through for us.

Paul may not have scored (much), but I wouldn't trade (that). He dominated the inside.
