Our team defense was very solid tonight and we caused a lot of interference in the paint. We played especially well in the second half, picking up a lot of loose balls and dominating the glass.

We gave them way too many second chances and we were careless with the ball. That speaks volumes.

Eric did a lot of good things, but you have to credit his teammates for finding him underneath the basket. I thought we played good team basketball from start to finish for the third straight game.

The most important thing for us was to get the win. We have had a lot of guys step up lately and our success depends more on teamwork than what one player does.

I just told a couple of players, the first thing that sticks out on both offense and defense is that we were successful on third downs for the most part.

I think both teams played excellent defense. You can't take everything away from them. We tried to limit their 3-point looks and it opened up for some drives inside.
