That was a pretty big deficit to try to dig a hole out of. They went inside on us to start the game. We tried fronting the post, but that didn't work, so we ended up playing behind them, and we got into some foul trouble after that.

They were disappointed. ... They could've had an opportunity to go through league undefeated again, which is a pretty tough deal to do. ... But it's gone, and we'll have to play smart basketball the rest of the way to stay in first place.

He's a pretty good player and does a good job for us. He is a tough out and puts the ball in play. He is quick too, which puts pressure on the other teams' defense.

We finally did what everyone else has been doing to us. We packed it in pretty good and made them shoot from the outside.

We had a game plan to pack it in and make them beat us from the outside, and we pretty much stuck to it. But for about five minutes there (in the second quarter), we forgot what to do.

If we can get our 20-plus points in the first quarter, it seems to be a real key to us as far as getting a 'W'. The games that we've lost, they've been games where we haven't scored a lot in the first quarter.
