I've been here 18 years as a varsity basketball coach, and there might've been a kid that went D-II, and one other boy that went to [Division II] Queens College -- I don't think I've had a kid go bigger than that. Travis was the only one.

Playing on the road, you're fighting and clawing to get everything you can get. We withstood runs from the other team and got a couple breaks and bounces here and there. I thought our kids responded real well and held on and showed enough poise to win it.

We hadn't been playing good defense, and we got a group in there that could. We had to step it up man-to-man guarding and we did and we survived it. It's a very big win.

Good basketball teams have to do that if you want to be standing at the end of the year. You have to play through that sort of thing. There are several teams in the league capable of doing that. Hopefully, we're one of them.

You have to make shots to win basketball games and we didn't do that. You also have to get back on defense, so it was a double-whammy.
