We have to find a way to battle through it. Maybe we'll find a comfort level in some ways where we'll get used to it.

Our confidence level certainly is not real high. Playing four out of five on the road took its toll on the team. We have to find a way to overcome that, and we haven't yet.

The game was won from the 3-point arc. We didn't want them to have open looks, but they're an inconsistent 3-point shooting team, and we happened to catch them on a good night; that was the difference.

Nile Murray is an extremely talented player. Although their record doesn't show it, they're a very talented team.

Alton is a mature, explosive player. He can play three different positions and will bring toughness, rebounding and basketball savvy to the team. He can be an offensive force for us.

We have to defend our home court. That's critical. Every team says that. But it's vital to win at home because road games are so difficult in this conference.
