We had a 15-point lead in the second quarter and probably could have put them away. But we made some poor decisions tonight.

We got a little passive in the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead. But as the quarter wore on we picked it up.

We had a real tough second quarter, a really devastating second quarter, probably the worst we've had all year. That quarter did us in. If you look at the first, third and fourth (quarters), it's an even game.

In the second quarter we opened up a lead and got a little nonchalant. Once they gained a little momentum we didn't stop them. Great things go on between these two schools, between basketball and hockey.

We caught them in the third quarter and had a four-point lead (40-36) going into the fourth. From there we sort of traded baskets with them.

It was a six-point game in the second quarter and they had that run. If we hang in there, get a couple of stops, you never know. It's a real tribute to our guys, though. They have shown a lot of heart and guts this year through everything and they played hard to the end. Unfortunately it's a loss, but it was a great way for our seniors to finish. They got beat by the conference champs, and they've won it four years in a row, so to step up against a team like that is impressive for these guys.
