Jon Kraus

We got the loose balls in the second half that we didn't get in the first half. Those are the things we have to do. When you have to make up for a guy who scores 19, 20 points, you have to execute better. You have to do the little things.

Austin Croshere

It was a very key half-point. Any time you can get up on GB&I in alternate shot, it's an advantage.

I struggled in the first half, but I couldn't feel sorry for myself. Somebody needed to step up.

Amy Litteral

I take the blame for it in the first half. I was very emotional. The way things were going, I wasn't pleased.

Howie Hewitt

We have a lower addition at ground level, so we already have a foot and a half. Our main level -- we hope it doesn't go above that.

The first half we did what we needed to do. We packed it in and they did what we wanted. We couldn't have played much better.

We had a total offensive collapse in the second half. Everything was going our way, but it just fell apart.

Jody Conradt

We were flat. We were cold, didn't hit a shot in the first half -- it just wasn't us out there. They got up on us, got some confidence and just outplayed us.

Bob Hamilton
