They're the most athletic team we've ever played. They just caused some turnovers and they took advantage of it. That's what good teams do. We should have been able to handle it.

We have to be patient on defense. They're a very disciplined team and they'll pass the ball around. We have to let them work it around, take our time and go for a steal.

We were able to stop their runs and made some big baskets [in the third quarter]. Coach [Ed Sennett] told us to be patient. They were good at not giving up the ball for fast-break points.

It was close for a while [in the first game]. We have to watch out for Travis and Elias. We have to make sure we keep an eye on them.

At the beginning of the season this was one of our goals. This is one more step, but we still have a lot more things to accomplish.

I think the closest game we've had all season was in the regional final to Libertyville at seven points.
