You could tell it was our first time (in the finals). But we came out in the second half, made a nice little run. We thought if we could get the lead Winthrop would tighten up a little bit.

I could be happy here. I really can.

I'll be on the phone a lot. Hopefully with the push from other people and our conference these kids can continue to play.

I'm sure it will be one heck of a battle. Winthrop again. We've been very fortunate to beat them twice in a row.

I'm glad Jack was able to get player of the year, but I'm sure if you asked him, he'd rather be going to the NCAA tournament next week.

That might have been the best 16 minutes we might have played this season. We did a good job on offense; we had patience. We got what we wanted.

The second half, they showed they weren't going to go away. We do not know how to play with a big lead.

I've got a lot of meetings to attend and we're still working hard on recruiting. I'm looking forward to building on what we had going at the end of the season and see if we can't get there next year.

They really went after him from the start.

You see it in the young kids. They seem a little bit tight on the road and they're more relaxed at home. I've tried everything and I've talked to so many people. It will come, but only by playing defense and rebounding.
