You can say that maybe his first two years he got the short end of the stick playing wise. But never once did he complain. Never once did he stop working. And guys like that you tend to have confidence they can step up.

If you leave them open, and they're on, they're really gonna burn you. They end up making 11 threes out of 24 attempts. It's hard to beat 'em when they do that.

They made a nice adjustment on us. Trapped us a little bit, speeded us up.

It's something that's killed us all year. It's something we've usually hung our hat on, but this year it hasn't been there. Rebounding is something you can work on, but it's one of those game-time things where you've just got to get it done.

It's frustrating. Maybe there's a master plan for us.

This is a really big win for this team and for our program. To get this win is a big testament to the way these guys have hung in there and worked hard all season long.

As a team we don't have it. Whatever it is, we don't have it. If we had it, we could be pretty good. But until we get it, we're not.

Our defense was really the story for us tonight. Our offense played great, but it was the play at the other end that kept us in the game.

We played very well during a prolonged stretch in the second half. That was the difference for us. It was a close game, and that run gave us some breathing room.

I was proud of the way we met physicality with physicality tonight. Karl Hollingsworth was fantastic and needs to play like that every time. Lipscomb is playing extremely well right now and we were just a couple of plays away from winning this game.
