It was a winnable game, but we didn't get a consistent effort all game long defensively. We did not get a defensive stop in the first four minutes.

I thought this game was going to go down to the fourth quarter. Johnny was Johnny, and everyone stepped up.

I didn't expect this. Especially at the start of the year. We lost five of seven [players from last year's team] and I wasn't sure how far this team could go.

I'm proud of the effort. I knew if we could rebound, we'd be in good shape.

I was pleased with our defensive effort in the third quarter. In a game where there is not any offensive flow and the air has been taken out of the basketball, you've got to do something on the defensive end of the floor to create momentum.

We have an immediate need for cash because our goal is to continue the restoration effort.
