During the last five games, we've limited teams to shooting a combined 38 percent. We're most happy as a coaching staff with the way we have been playing at the defensive end.

We have to keep things going in the right direction now. I like how we are playing. The guys are going at it very hard. I like how we are playing.

Joe played a nice game at the point. We are starting to mesh as a team. This is the time to come together.

We had contributions from lots of sources. I thought we showed good character on the road.

Chris is beginning to take charge out there for us now. He is looking to score more and is taking good shots.

The disappointing part about this loss is that we would have been in control of the conference if we could have come away with a win here. We just didn't play well offensively and it just wasn't our night. I guess those kinds of things occasionally happen on the road.

With five games remaining, we just need to tighten up a few things. The schedule has been a grind. Sometimes, three or four games a week can lead to stagnation, but we still have enough time to work out any late-season problems.

We are beginning to get back on track after those opening losses in the conference. Will and Larry were tough once again and Joe Jimenez played well.

I thought McGee did a really nice job at the defensive end. Our big people had good energy all night.
