It's big for us to be 2-0 in the conference with two road wins. The conference is basically even, and we really think 8-2 could win it. So we're thrilled to be where we are.

Nineteen points wasn't going to get it done for us. Nineteen points for some teams and being up by two, that's fine for some teams, but we felt the tempo wasn't in our favor and we also felt we didn't move the ball well.

It's a big relief. We're looking forward to moving down the road and putting this behind us.

I think the travel and being on the road so much the last three weeks finally caught up to us. The kids didn't have enough gas. We didn't have another gear to go to. We kind of ran out of magic here at the end.

This was our first step on our road to state. A lot of guys had a real good start. We have some guys really starting to get focused.

Having seen him, we think he's going to recover eventually. It's gonna be a long road, but he's a strong guy, and he's gonna make it, and he's gonna do well. And I think the care he's gotten has been just world class so far. So with that, we can feel pretty good about him.
