We have an eight-minute game coming up that we have to win by seven points.

I thought he was the best big man out there on the floor tonight. Sam played very, very well.

It was just the heart and soul of my kids. We're a young team, and we've been getting caught up when other teams get big runs. We got the kids to realize that we get those runs, too.

He was just too athletic for us.

We're 15-11 and a lot of teams with 11 losses aren't playing at this time of the year and that is a testament to those kids in that locker room. They never quit. For a team that wasn't expected to be here, I'm proud of these kids.

I think that is a horrible way to decide the game. I'm not saying he didn't hold him, but he easily could have called a foul, given him the one-on-one and let the kids decide the basketball game.

(Fry) is so big that he took everything we had to the basket. He forced us into a jump shooting team. And we had a bad shooting night.

We get in those little funks and I think that it is our inexperience. We get very comfortable and the other night, we struggled to score. Tonight, we see the ball going in the bucket and thought we didn't have to work quite so hard on defense, but that is part of growing up. The kids played hard and always play hard and that is all I can ask of them.

Getting two (fouls) on Sam really hurt us.
