We knew Christian Life was quick and physical. We wanted to slow the game down and not try to run with them. We did a good job setting the tempo.

Hampshire played pretty good defense in the lane, but we just didn't shoot the ball very well.

If we play with the energy and defensive effort we gave tonight [on Friday], we're going to be fine.

Nate is such a great competitor. He's always around the ball. He does make us go. Nate played his butt off.

Our last four opponents have had to play our game. If we can do that again, and dictate tempo, we'll be fine. We don't want to get in a track meet with them.

The one thing I was proud of in this regional was we really defended well.

We handled their pressure very well in the first half. We even used their pressure for our offense by attacking it. They expected to [get turnovers in the third quarter]. They did a good job forcing turnovers.

If you go 2-for-17 from the three-point line, you're not going to win. I really think Hampshire came out and pushed us around in the first half. We didn't react to it, and that's how they got a comfortable lead.
