There's only one place to go when you're up top and that's down. We just didn't want to continue that downward spiral.

They beat us at our place last year and we beat them at theirs. I'm sure it will be another good game when we see them at their place.

Kyle played big for us down the stretch, not just with the foul shots, but a couple of big rebounds. He had the kind of game you'd expect out of your second-leading scorer. He's been pretty solid for us this season.

We needed to calm down and break their press. We came out, found the way through the press and also played a lot better on defense.

I just hope we haven't peaked. I still see room for improvement. We've been playing basically five kids and they could get tired this time of the year. But they just have to suck it up and get through it.

We played pretty well defensively in the second half and tried to hold their scorers down a little bit.

Kyle can be a big time player if he keeps working at it. He's 6-5, he runs and jumps well. He can move.

(Westbrook) plays hard and they don't quit. This is the kind of game where you get in and you think you're just going to win it and then you make a few mistakes and you're not going to have a good game. We wanted to show tonight that we can play and to get ready for the next game.

Over the past three years or so, it's really become a good rivalry. They've had a good team and we've had a good team. And we've played some good games. (Tonight) I think at first we were both trying to feel each other out. It made for a low-scoring game. We like to play faster, but under control. At times we got out of control.
