Credit Merrillville, they played hard and with a lot of enthusiasm. They've got good quick kids and they're 14-3 for a reason.

For all the people that think we should lose a game so we can be better in the (state) tournament, this is for them. I don't believe that.

Windsor made some big plays for us in the third quarter. I like him because he's a kid who when it gets tough, he plays well.

We played awful, I thought - just awful. Right now, I'm concerned about several things.

We played like all five of us were sick. We were getting out-rebounded, out-hustled, out-everything, so I spent a lot of time screaming during our first timeout.

We want to come out and play like it's 26-24 and we're playing a huge game down the road. We need to have 32 minutes of good, solid effort and focus.
