I told our players after the game just to be proud, that they were part of a pretty historic game. The kids played their hearts out.

We had a lead and we wanted to try and milk the clock, but a couple of turnovers late cost us with that plan. The kids played their hearts out and we shot ourselves, and we have a lot of work to do to face Chester again. Hopefully, we can have a strong showing in the states.

Sometimes you have to go toe-to-toe with them, they force you to play fast. It was just kind of like a heavyweight fight and we couldn't really slow them down, whoever gets that 15th-round punch is going to win.

They are an athletic team. We will have to box out well, and keep them off the offensive boards. We will need to play solid man to man defense, and keep turnovers down on offense.

I would hope we were just part of an epic [Friday] and the last shot wins. All roads to anywhere go through Chester, I've said that a million times.

Sometimes you have to go to-to-toe with them, they force you to play fast. I would have liked one more defensive stop in the second half. I felt like one more stop might have changed the course of the game. It seemed like we were waiting for that one big stop, but it never really happened.
