I think this is the biggest game of the year for us. It's huge. I thought there was a big difference between 1-1 and 0-2, and there's an even bigger difference between 0-3 and 1-2.

They didn't pressure us as much as I thought they would which was a surprise. So we were able to hold the ball a little longer.

I thought Chris's penetration tonight for us was really a key. He got to the rim a couple times and made a couple of nice passes. He's playing some really good basketball for us right now.

At the time, I thought it was good for us. I thought it was giving us a rest. We didn't play very many kids. I thought it was to our advantage to have the stall game. ... I liked our chances at that point.

I came in and was myself. Joe thought that was good enough.

We were down 10 and I thought we did a great job to tie it up. [Elkins] hit shots down the stretch and we weren't able to do that. Of course, it hurts when you've got two of your better players, seniors, over here on the bench with me.
