I was hoping we would do a little better job of maintaining the ball. It was a little more discouraging in the sense that I thought we would be able to do some things instead of defending.

We do a good job of rotating to the ball and making adjustments on the fly defensively. We do a good job of covering people in our zone and it created some turnovers for us tonight.

It's more frustrating than discouraging. In all three losses, we turned the ball over way too much.

Our goal is to use the regular season as a springboard and have our best product at the end. I'm pleased with our team chemistry. That's something we haven't always had.

Peoria Christian was a good opponent for us. I was pleased with the way we responded after (Peoria Christian) pulled to within 2-1. Our defensive unit has really come together and we are now able to get a lot of people scoring for us.

I tell you, he is a heck of a player. We were hoping he was going to fling that ball into the stands in the ninth.
