What you saw tonight was the results of trying to press for three straight days. Our shooting was terrible and we couldn't buy a bucket. That's one of the disadvantages of playing back-to-back-to-back. We got a little tired and we lost our legs.

I liked the fact that we came out with intensity, pressure and a lot of focus after a disappointing loss the night before. It just shows these kids have great character.

Chad is shooting 75 percent on the year and I told him before he shot the third one the odds of him missing was zero. He did, but we did a good job of getting rebounds off of those misses and I am glad we overcame those types of things. You are going to miss free throws from time to time, but we still found a way to win.

Down the stretch we could have folded. I like where we are at mentally right now. We are starting to get very, very tough. We have gone through a lot of ups and downs this season and it seems like every game is a regional championship atmosphere. That is going to make us a strong team down the stretch.

I can't be any prouder of our effort and I thought Princeville played great basketball. If they shoot one percentage lower then they don't win. We executed everything we wanted to, we played hard defense and I thought we rebounded pretty well considering their size advantage. I couldn't ask for a better effort.

Instead of taking a six-point lead in our run, it could of, and should have, been a 10- or 15-point lead. That's if we come out and play them even from the start. You just can't do that against good teams.

When you put yourself in the position to have to come back like that it forces your hand. You have to make every play and you can't make a mistake. But the story of this game was told in the first four minutes.

The game wouldn't have been that close if we would have been able to make some free throws. We made them when we had to with Chad and Brandon at the end.

It is getting to that point in the year where you have to start playing your best basketball. Not that we have been messing around, but it's time to get serious. We are nine days to the end of the regular season and it is time to put up or shut up and I am challenging these guys to put it up.
