Those were big foul shots. We weren't up by that much and he just kept walking up there and making free throws.

We got off to a great start. They were feeding off the emotion from the crowd I think. It was great to see Jake hit some shots. He's been struggling lately and to see him shoot like that was fun to watch.

It seems that when we don't shoot the ball well, we stop working hard. And tonight we didn't make anything and I think we get discouraged and didn't play as hard on defense. That's a heart issue.

The guys didn't even know Wood River's record. I made sure to tell them that Wood River was a good team, a team that is going to come in here and give us a good fight. They beat us in this tournament every year. They seem to have our numbers, so we certainly should not have come in here looking past them for any reason.

I think this tournament really showed us what we can do with a full team. We haven't had a full, healthy team until this point and we're gaining some confidence that we can play with good teams.

We have to get better every day. If we can do that, if we can keep winning games and keep gaining confidence in ourselves, we could win a regional. That's been the goal since day one, and nothing has changed.
