I thought we played hard, every kid we put on the floor played hard. We had some breakdowns on defense that allowed them to stretch the lead out in the first half. Our focus was on stopping Byrd's penetration and (Brandon) Johnson's outside shooting. McCall just killed us inside. He's a heck of a player; he's come along way.

Our guys have continued to work hard. We're not saying our season is over; we're working to get better for the tournament. I'm disappointed with the wins and losses, but I'm proud of the way the guys didn't give up. They proved to me that they haven't given up.
