We knew in the beginning of the season we could have great chemistry. It was a great feeling to be out there together again.

We played great in stretches. But, the whole year's been like that, ups and downs.

We knew we had to keep Brunner and big Hansen off the boards.

Coach had challenged me to come out early and get some buckets. The basket just got bigger. In the end result, it really doesn't count because we didn't get the win.

We knew this was a team that could hit threes. We tried to get them from not having too many threes and kept them off the boards. We stuck with our game plan, and that's the reason we were successful.

I've never seen anything like that. It's hard right now.

That boy played so hard in practice it was all a reward. He gets the first team better each and every day, so when he got to start I knew he would come to play.

We didn't intend it to go this way, but sometimes you have to overcome obstacles. We're doing it right now in the beginning of the new stretch, but we're going down a long road ahead of us.

The defense was great. The coaches gave us great preparation. Adam (Boone) did a great job knocking down the point guard for their team. The big men did a great job of rotating on the wings when they went baseline to get charges and create turnovers.
