It's just tough when you're playing a team like Bethany that has all 11 of their kids playing at a high level. We're going to get there, it's just going to be a matter of time.

The kids have really been getting after it in practice. They are really looking forward to Friday.

We know they're going to be a tough test. They're a strong team, they've got a lot of speed. We've had tough games against them all year and this should be a good series.

We feel like the kids are playing well and getting better, but it has been two tough games away from home to start the season. We couldn't quite get over the hump.

They were a physical, tough team. Those were two teams getting after it and playing aggressive. We didn't outbound them and they got more free throws. Obviously, our big guys having foul trouble had something to do with it.

It just took a while for us to get it. Playing as a team, that's it. Knowing when to get to the help side, knowing how to help out, knowing what to do.
