For three, four minutes, their defense looked impenetrable. But then we settled down and made shots. Guys stepped up like champs.

We wanted to be ahead in the fourth quarter and be able to spread them out and run some time off the clock.

What can you say except Kurt was awesome? What their defense was giving us was the shot in the corner, and Kurt was shooting with confidence.

I feel blessed I'm here. I came to the right Rowan County school.

West was playing great, and I didn't think we were playing well at all. But you look up there, and we're only down four. That showed how hard we were playing and how much heart we were playing with.

We were just trying to take what they gave us. Our guys are just getting better. That's the bottom line.
