He (Lambert) did some good things for us. We expect good things out of Doug. We want him to be more consistent, we think he can do that every game out. We have seen flashes of that, or we wouldn't have had him out there.

We did what we had to do tonight; we had to defend the home court. The pressure was on us. (Clarke coach) Jon (Davison) knew he had a step and a half up on the league if they come in and get that win tonight.

I take it we have a lot of work ahead of us. The sign of a good team is when you do not play your best ... and get the win. A lot of our flaws were shown tonight, and we need to step it up.

I thought we played even. I'm sure they beat us on the boards [Meadowbrook 33-28]. We beat them from the field [Highland Springs 22-21].

Basically, the electricity in my heart wasn't working correctly.

We wanted to get them in foul trouble. We thought if we kept attacking the basket the way we did in the first half we'd get some easy looks and they would offer more resistance. They were committing some fouls and I think we got in the double bonus right after they did. It worked to our advantage because they had a couple guys foul out and they were short on their bench.
