Even if they get down 10 or 12 points, the way they hit the boards they're still in the game.

The kids played as hard as they could have played tonight. I'm very pleased with the overall effort. This is definitely a game to build on. If we play the way we did tonight we should be OK the rest of the season.

It felt good to finish one off tonight. We got up double digits in the third quarter because we were able to break their press and we got some easy looks and we were able to keep building the lead.

The game went back and forth for the most part. We couldn't get it to double digits. We'd make a little run and they'd come back with a couple baskets to keep it within reach.

This is a tough one to swallow. I think I'd rather get beat by 25 or 30 than get beat by a point.

It's tough when you lose by three. You get a point here or there and you only have to go for two at the end instead of needing a three.

You know it's going to be a low-scoring game and we missed way too many easy shots. Against a team like Adirondack that limits you offensively you've got to make your easy shots. Not making those shots just killed us in the long run.

Chris is a good athlete. With his size and quickness he's not going to give you an easy shot.

We had the recipe that we needed to win tonight. We just didn't put the icing on the top.
