They made shots in the fourth quarter, and we didn't.

That was a big basket that turned the tide. It only gave them a five-point lead, but the way the game was going it felt like a 20-point lead.

When you have injuries, other guys get a chance to step up and I thought all our perimeter guys played well, most of the time.

I like our bracket, we match up well with West Fargo and then there's Minot (20-2) and Grand Forks Central (14-8). Even though we lost to Minot both times this year, if we play well we can beat them.

It actually helps to have played them, we know a little of what they're about.

Our defense has been great and I hope it stays the way it is. Offensively, we're going to have to find a way to score some more points, because I don't think our offense in the West Region is going to cut it if we want to take a run at the title.

We're just hoping everyone is healthy enough to get on the floor.

We hope to continue to win, but we still have a lot of work to do and have some areas of weakness we have to address. However, an emotional win like this can only help you and we hope to continue to improve.

I think we played pretty good defense today. But the reason that Minot is the best team in the West is because they can score. They have eight or nine people who can score.
