The first time around, they clearly dominated from start to finish. In the second game, we were able to take advantage of our scoring opportunities and we played more composed. They didn't have anything going.

I put him in then because I wanted to give us a spark.

David does everything for us, and not having him in there definitely hurts us. I'm sure he would have made a difference. I don't know if he would made the difference between winning and losing.

They got more easy baskets in the third, and we weren't showing enough intensity on either side of the ball. We were hanging our heads a little, and I tried to tell them when they feel like that they need to fight harder.

Coming into this season, I don't think anybody expected us to do this. It was quite a surprise.

Other guys are stepping up for us offensively.

Every time they came back, we had answer for them. We were able to make our free throws and take care of the basketball a little better.

We hit a little bit of a funk, like we do at times, scoring-wise and making some unforced turnovers. Give Hamilton credit - they came out and extended some pressure.

We will be all right there. It's a matter of the kids making plays out there.

Without our defense, who knows what might have happened tonight. But we have to score some points. You can't win games with just defense.
