I think we played a great game. Even though we were scoreless in the second quarter the boys didn't quit.

The boys played an exceptional ballgame. We are a young team with only one senior and a lot of young players, but we are steadily improving and gaining confidence.

We stepped up our defense and stopped fouling. We've been a little sluggish, but we played a lot better. The second half of this game prepares us real well. It prepares us for close situations.

We played extra hard, but our defensive pressure wasn't good enough. I think they'll be ready by the tournament. They'll be a sleeper and sneak in on somebody least expecting it.

We slowed the tempo down, didn't get in a hurry. We blocked out a lot better.

These close ballgames are great learning tools. I am extremely proud of these guys.
