Our eighth and ninth guys in our rotation were starters today and they played really well. It was a sloppy game, but we keep finding ways to win. We knew not to overlook Hickman County.

We just couldn't make a shot. We talked about it before the game, we had to make shots. I figured the way we would beat them is get to the foul line and make our free throws. We were bouncing off those guys. They were bigger and stronger.

These guys just have their minds made up they can't lose. We've won every close game — this is the fifth time we've been down in the fourth quarter and they've come back and found a way to win.

This was the second injury we've had where these guys have (come) together and came back and won. They have learned to fight together when things get tough.

I'm ecstatic that they didn't eliminate the position today.

There were some ups and downs today for this team.
