The whole issue of the first half was their second-chance opportunities. We just as a team did not rebound the ball real well. It's not just one individual or just the inside play. For us to be effective on the glass we've got to do all five guys.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Jason does what Jason does. Jason can hit a few outside shots, and he can take the ball to the basket. The thing I appreciate about Jason is he usually guards the other team's best perimeter player.

The score doesn't resemble our effort. I'm proud of our effort. In similar situations this year we've laid down and let them kick us. Tonight we didn't do that. We played together, and I feel with our effort tonight we could do well.

Our kids have gradually played a little better. Our kids are coming off a disappointing loss against Bloomington. The positive thing is we played well for longer period of time. The disappointing thing is it's a loss. There are no morale victories.

The little things, it's an accumulation of the little things. We do the things to put ourselves in position to win, but then it's a turnover, or a missed rebound, or a missed free throw.

We knew what we were up against, but you still have to play. We wanted to make it a half-court game, but where they hurt you is with their traps and steals.

The first half we did a lot of things right, and the ball went in the hole.
