The guys are excited about being in the tournament, and we are ready to play. We have worked hard all season to get to this point, and we don't want to stop here.

Everyone is doing their part this season on both ends of the court. You can play the best defense, but you also have to score to win the games as well.

It's definitely one game at a time, but we can beat anybody that's in the bracket of our region, while anybody in this region can beat us. It's a very even region right now. Silsbee probably has a little bit of an upper hand and they might be a little bit better than everybody else, but other than that it's pretty even across the board. Anybody can win on any given night.

We were not expecting the guards to shoot as well as they did. We focused more on our inside game because of their two big players but it was definitely the guards that made the difference.

This was a tough loss for our team. I was very proud of the way the guys conducted themselves in this game. The game was over before it was over, and they showed a lot of class and they continued to play and fight until the end.

I thought the keys were our energy and intensity. Our execution was the best it has been all year. I thought we played our best game of the season.
