It was a great coaching move. We had worked on it yesterday in practice. It slowed down the tempo, and we just didn't attack the basket enough.

It was a team effort tonight. And that's important. They listened, they played defense, got some good stops, and we had some good runs.

McNeill is a junior and he's gotten a lot better. He has a great mid-range jumper. He makes or breaks them.

I thought right then that we were going into overtime.

We executed better on our sets, and our inbounds play was better tonight. And we were a lot more patient in the second half.

Ooltewah executed very well tonight.

He has been due for a long time. He hadn't been hitting those jumpers for awhile, but he and his dad shot a lot in the old gym yesterday. Maybe he's working his way out of a shooting slump. It's all a matter of confidence.
