Joe Paterno said he wanted to win with a number 80 on. I'm chasing Joe Paterno.

They'll play five players on the perimeter. I don't know how much they can help us.

I think we feel like we can beat Rockwall now and we have the capability. I think the last time, some players on our team didn't understand their roles, but they have responded well since then.

The team that has three players step up and score will win. When Horn has two other players step up, they win.

We had opportunities, but we were 2-for-10 from the field in the first quarter and we missed our first 12 three-point attempts. We shot 45 percent in the second and third, but that's when we had 15 of our 22 turnovers.

This team has worked hard and has battled through adversity . They deserve to make the playoffs.

We were making shots in the second and third. We had good looks in the fourth. We just weren't making them.

I really don't like the time off and I think we have a chance at a neutral site. The second-place team could get Dallas Skyline in the playoffs, and that would be tough.

This had a feeling similar to the Mesquite game, especially to be able to pull this out after losing the heartbreaker on Wednesday. We didn't shoot well, but we played good defense. I think our defense will sustain us.
