We were right there. We had our opportunities to win.

In the second half, we played much better.

It was not a forced situation.

They're a very good team. Gaines is a senior. He had one of those nights. He was 4-for-4 from 3s. To be honest, I thought we did a pretty good job against him defensively.

A goal at halftime was not to let Holliday get a 3. He didn't score in the second half.

We basically brought three groups of five players, and I started that third group of kids who hadn't played all week.

We shot the ball well. We just made some mistakes.

We had a little trouble scoring (in the fourth quarter), but we took the lead and had a good defensive stand at the end.

We defended very well. If we had shot our free throws better, it wouldn't have been this close.
