This team exceeded my expectations of what I thought we'd be able to do this year. Tonight we didn't shoot the ball with confidence, and we didn't take care of some of the most basic things you need to take care of in playoff basketball. That's what happens with youth. You could tell that we'd never been this close before.

We've got good leadership from our seniors this year. I feel bad that we couldn't have got them to the state tournament. That's been everybody's goal since those girls were freshmen. We're very hurt right now.
