Tim's team played with a lot of intensity. We should have had that kind of intensity. I have 13 juniors who don't know how to see forward, yet.

The good thing about this team is on any given night someone can go off and score a lot of points. We are not a one-dimensional team. We've had nine different people as leading scorers in games, and that speaks volumes.

We are in the single-elimination tournament point right now, and I don't think our kids are ready to be eliminated. I know this means something to this basketball team and they are going to come out and play like it means something.

I thought that our ability to keep our composure was a big factor, especially in the fourth quarter.

We're well established as a company that services the UK parts market but to find success with international shipments to a country like China is especially pleasing given the current import climate. It proves that the UK has a lot to offer - if it looks for opportunities in the right places.

We played tremendous team basketball. I knew that we were going to be able to get the ball inside against this team, and it worked out well that we did. It's a huge win for us on the road.

We can't be lethargic and feel sorry for ourselves after what happened (at JT). Our kids are resilient. They had two good practices and if we can come out and with the same intensity we had Tuesday, we'll be fine.

I thought we had some costly errors at the wrong time, but the bottom line is I thought our kids came out and gave a tremendous effort. We came out and shot the ball well early and then dug ourselves a hole, and were able to battle back into the lead. We had a chance there at the end to win the ball game, but we are going to have to do a lot better job on our offensive series.

I was surprised, but I only get that because I had a bunch of kids who knew how to play the game and played it hard for 12 games. This was like an unspoken gift from my team to me. The biggest award was what our team was able to accomplish.
