We are working on winning the one-on-one battles. We lost several games last year, where if we just made one more play we would have pulled out a win.

I think everyone needs to win their one-on-ones. When you look at film, there were so many games where just one breakdown cost us the game. ... We need to die hard, work hard on every play and not go down.

It's hard because the kids get jumpy. We're not used to a close-game situation. Our games this year have been either one way or the other. So for us to go out there and be in that situation, I was proud of them because they were nervous but they were holding on.

We're really shooting for winning the conference. We'd like to make it well into the playoffs. Hopefully we can do better than our section teams.

It's been a crazy year, ... But all that matters now is winning this [division] and getting to the postseason.

We were not too far away [from winning]. But we didn't defend or rebound as well as could have.
