Our problem is holding that lead and making Houston or any other team panic when they're a goal down. We've twice now given up that lead too quickly.

We're a better team when I'm on the floor and up until the Houston game, I was playing well. The seniors need me out there. Hassan needs me out there to help out and I do a better job as far as disrupting teams when I'm out there and we're a better team when I'm out there. I think everybody can see that.

When we get that lead, we have to widen the gap. We have to get another goal.

When a team pressures you, there are three things you have to do. You can't panic, you have to handle the ball and you have to find the open man. When a team presses as much as they (Lewisville) do, you can get easy lay-ups if you find the open man.

I was hoping to get up near the lead and I was able to do that, ... My goal was to shoot four-under so I did one better than that.

We're not a team that's concerned about trying to sneak into the fourth position for the playoffs. We want to be in there, be first, and have home-field advantage. Those are goals of ours. The concern is not really who's behind us, or who we are tied with, but who's ahead of us.
