It was a boring game, but we did a lot of little things well. It was a good win and sets up a huge week coming up. Next week will go a long way to determining the order for the state playoffs, so it's very important that we play well.

After the Saint Martin's game (a 105-104 overtime win on Feb. 11), we did something we hadn't done since I've been here. We took Sunday and Monday off (instead of Sunday only), and then we went to Boise on Wednesday. I thought our legs were fresh in that game, and I thought we were a step quicker than SPU on Saturday night.

We scored zero points off the bench. It's impossible to win a game like that when all five of your starters have all your points. If we played like we played in this tournament the whole year, we would've finished first or second and wouldn't have had to run into (HBU) this early.

The pitching was solid. Jake did a good job of getting out of that inning. If we're going to do anything state-wise, we've got to have Jake throwing well.

It's been a rollercoaster life but it hasn't been boring.

You want to win every game. But I look at 17 runs and 23 hits, and plug McFarlane and Irving in there, and we're right where we need to be.
