Kellen Byrnes did an outstanding job against the press tonight. He handled the pressure very well.

Greg is such a workhorse. On one of his rebounds tonight I saw his elbow go above the rim. That was most impressive.

Even without (Erwin) Albany is still a pretty good team. Our guys showed up to play tonight and the coaching staff couldn't be happier about that.

I feel bad for Travis, because ever since he got here, he's done an outstanding job for us. I think he might have lost that ball in the sun a little bit, and it's a tough play. By no means is that a reflection on the way Travis can play the game, because he's an outstanding baseball player both offensively and defensively.

We didn't handle their pressure that well tonight. Handling pressure, limiting turnovers and rebounding were the three keys. It isn't often that you lose a game and feel that you took a step forward, but the effort and teamwork were there tonight.

I think (Mount Vernon) showed you how strong you have to be to come to this point. At one point I think they just decided they were going to shove us out of the way and go get everything and they did.
