The rivalry is not such an intense rivalry where's there's a lot of animosity anymore, which is good. Rivalries are good, but not when it's a ?I hate you' type of rivalry. Those aren't always good games.

Once again, we shot a lot free throws in this game. Over half of them were in the fourth quarter. We shot free throws pretty well today, 19 of 30 is not bad. It's not great. Definitely it was not like what we had the night before, but we made them down the stretch. That's what counts.

The key for us is that Sergio has to rebound and he did an outstanding job. I know it's not always the fun thing to do, but he's doing an excellent job on the boards and that's why we're playing better.

Those two played good defense on him and that was key for us.

It would be a huge boost for us and a huge boost for our kids.

I'm happy with how the kids played in the playoff game. That's important. We've got to go on the road and play Westside Christian now. That's a tough place to play. We need to get a win there. If we do that, we play well and play well enough to get a win, so be it. It will be good for our program. It will be good for our kids. We've got young kids. I'm proud of the way they're playing.

We played a much better second half than they did.

For us to be successful, Sergio has to rebound the basketball and he's doing that. If he can rebound, we're going to be successful. If he has a big night scoring then obviously that's a bonus, but we have other guys that can shoot the basketball.
