That's part of the game. You give yourself enough chances, one of these days we'll get one.

We played solid defense the whole game.

Getting to the state tournament has always been tough. Being there for the third year in a row is a testament to our kids in the program -- they've all worked hard to get there.

We talk a lot about composure. We didn't panic and that makes a big difference in these kind of games.

They changed their defenses in the last quarter and we got a little out of sync. Williams' breakaway basket and Will's free throws saved us.

We didn't have a true leader in the sense of the term.

In order to climb out of a hole, you've got to defend first. We had to get stops and we adjusted our press and started bothering them some.

The third was a bad quarter for us. We dug ourselves a hole. We cut it to three and that's how we play. We made runs and they made runs. Theirs were just a little bigger than ours.

We just didn't defend tonight. We had to fight ... to get back in it once they got a lead, and we played like we were tired.
