That's a badge of honor for our coaching staff. From six minutes on, I thought we played well defensively and showed good character on our part.

That was a key moment in the game.

We played like all five of us were sick. We were getting out-rebounded, out-hustled, out-everything, so I spent a lot of time screaming during our first timeout.

We had some hard practices this week. We had a good zip in on (Thursday's) practice. We didn't show it in the first half, but we did in the third quarter.

We want to come out and play like it's 26-24 and we're playing a huge game down the road. We need to have 32 minutes of good, solid effort and focus.

We played awful, I thought - just awful. Right now, I'm concerned about several things.

Windsor made some big plays for us in the third quarter. I like him because he's a kid who when it gets tough, he plays well.

It's obviously the first time our guys have been in a game in the fourth quarter. Did we react well? I don't know. We tried to hold the ball with a one-point lead and didn't do it.

For all the people that think we should lose a game so we can be better in the (state) tournament, this is for them. I don't believe that.
