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.

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.

This milestone just means that I have been fortunate enough to work at a school that has a great academic reputation. That lets us attract some quality student athletes. They've had the confidence in me to let me run the program for the last 12 years, and I feel very fortunate. It also makes me think about the coach I played for here at AU, Don Holler. Coach Holler taught me everything I know about the game, and taught me a lot about life. He and his wife are very close to me.

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.

This year I feel confident that we can all work together to win ODAC.

We have a lot of work to do to convince Japanese buyers to come back to us.
