Every year the kids learn something and I learn something. I know where we need to put the focus next year and I know the kids will work hard to get us where we want to be.

We talked about coming out and playing 32 minutes of solid basketball and I think we played 27 or 28 minutes very well.

We have had problems playing teams that don't have good records. This is the first time this year we have led wire to wire. One of our goals was to run and if we didn't have anything, to set it up in the half court.
