When Orem came back the kids responded, and that tells me a lot about how they came to play tonight.

I told the kids that we need to start preparing to play in a playoff atmosphere. We have to be able to play with pressure. We had pressure on us tonight, and the kids responded very well.

It was great to see our kids come out and get off to a great start and play well for 48 minutes. I think we played against some very good defenses in our non-conference schedule, and I think that has prepared us well.

In the last four or five minutes of the game, we played scared. We didn't maintain our composure. We started making mistakes and it ballooned on us.

It's disappointing, but we had a good year. We put ourselves in a position to win, but we made too many mental mistakes.

We just wanted to spread the floor and take the ball to the bucket. We got a shot and it just went in and out.
