Ogre had a great game, and my bunch is growing up. I thought they grew up as a team tonight when Pate went out of the game. Burton made a run and took the lead, and we responded back. I was proud of them.

We just got hot. We were really in trouble in the second quarter. They had us on the ropes. Our subs came in and did a good job to hold it close until halftime.

I'm proud of the whole team's effort. With Ogre out, we had to have everybody step up. We wanted him to rest tonight. We don't know how long it will be before we have him back. We didn't want to risk making it worse.

We couldn't press like we wanted to, but our pressure defense in the half-court set was great. We took their big guy out of the game, and that really made the difference.

We're moving ahead. We should've been in operation by now.

You won't recognize it when we're done.
