They had a little lull in the third period, but then they started knocking down shots again. They play hard and make quick decisions. We couldn't really run, but they force you to shoot in transition.

I'm confident we can play with them. We learned a lot from playing Windsor and East Hartford. We learned lot about what we can do and perhaps should do.

We can't beat them if they shoot well. Windsor just has more bodies and seasoned guys. They played very hard, but our guys didn't back down.

He's an exceptional player. He doesn't turn the ball over and he's fast. He handles it with both hands. A good passer. He's our best three-point shooter, percentage-wise. Knowledgeable, unselfish and all the things you want in a point guard.

The last few weeks, we've been playing pretty consistently. We've beaten some really worthy opponents. These guys have really responded well and their work ethic has been great.

We're not beating that team if they're shooting like that . . . they play hard. I was very pleased with our kids, though. They surely didn't back down or give in.
