We are a good team when we go to the basket but we missed a couple of easy ones.

L.J. has really gotten better, game by game.

I know we had it down to three [points] for about three or four possessions late. We just rushed things and turned over the basketball.

When both teams go after it like we did, it's going to be sloppy at times. But we got on the boards and got the ball out on the break.

It was a good defensive game both ways. Both teams missed a lot of shots. Both teams were a little tight in the first quarter. It took the kids a while to get loose in a big rivalry with a packed house. But I think our defensive was outstanding.

I don't know that I'd say sloppy, it was just a competitive game.
