We were really worried before the game because we thought they were undefeated and we hadn't seen them play.

This year was harder because everyone was getting ready for us, spending much more time for our games because we won state last year.

Our defense wasn't very good and we didn't make the first couple of baskets, so we were pressing.

We're probably a little bit behind where we thought we'd be, and we've got to play some catch-up. We've got this week right now to make Arkansas better, and that's what we're going to do.

We did a nice job on the wing getting the ball inside. I thought the play of our wing players was very consistent. They didn't try and force the ball in when it wasn't there. Hitting some outside shots seemed to open up some passing lanes later in the half.

My goal tonight was to play as a team. I thought they did that. We did the best we could to try to hang in there with a heck of a football team.
