The last two weeks we've had several games like this where we're right in it but can't find a way to get the lead. But give Eisenhower credit, they played well.

Sheldon and Craig were able to get to the lane and get to the free throw line. We shared the ball well offensively as a team and were able to get some easy baskets.

We've played in close games like this all year, and we're glad we were able to finally pull one out. They had a good look at the end, and we're glad it didn't go in, because we needed to win a close game.

It's always exciting to play Bloomington. It's good to have a Friday home game, and it will be a great crowd. We also understand it's not the most important game of the season, either. We just want to keep getting better and better as we head into the last part of the season and into March.

What really hurt us was that poor start to the third quarter. They made their shots while we missed ours and turned the ball over. It was just an uphill battle from that point on.

We have three games this week, and it was nice to start off with a win. It's a great competitive weekend for us. We shot the ball well on Tuesday and hopefully that will continue.
