We just simply got beat. We got beat on the boards and we got beat on the foul line. They played better defensively than we did. They shot the ball very well tonight and we didn't.

It really wasn't a matter of our kids wanting to win or not. We jumped out of the locker room and built a four point lead, which was our biggest lead of the night, and we still managed to get beat soundly.

In many ways this game reminds me of our sectional loss last year to North Central. It wasn't like there was a complete lack of effort. I was just not sharp, focused, and competitive. It's not what we expect and not the way we practice.

They've got their rules, and they can't deviate from them, but it's life over limb.

Frankly, I think I'm marvelous in rehearsal! Then you turn the camera on, and it gets stiff and tight. And then you trudge back to your trailer feeling sad. That's been my experience of film acting.

And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
