I don't know if we got a little comfortable when we got the lead or what. They made a little run at us and got close to us, but we hung in there and didn't quit, we just kept playing hard.

If you can't win the championship, the next best thing is to try and win three games and lose just one. So that's what we're trying to do now. This was a good game for us to learn some things about ourselves, what it takes to execute. Hopefully we can come out and play hard tomorrow (today). East Prairie is a hot team right now. They're a scary team to play.

They came out and got three quick baskets on us. But still I think the turning point was when it was about 45-41 and we had a couple of chances at some rebounds down there - had it in our hands a couple of times - and just couldn't bring it in. I thought that was the big difference in the game right there.

That hurt a little bit. Drew (Satterfield) played hard for us tonight. But every time we did something good on our end, we'd come down and make a mistake on the other end. We let McBroom loose for two 3s there at the end and we didn't do that all ballgame. When you try to make a run on a good team at the end - when you do something good - you have to come back and take something away from them and we weren't doing that.

Its not smart basketball, that's what it is. Your in the wrong position with your feet, or we're down there fouling him (Lance) forty feet from the basket. You can't do that. We're just not playing smart basketball. We're really inconsistent. At times we play all right, and other times we don't. We're just not playing very smart.

Aaron (Jackson) has really started to shoot the ball better of late. He had a good tournament and he has really emerged as a solid third scorer for us. He has averaged double digits over the past few games.

Some teams we can press a little better than others when we know we can wear them down a little bit. We're not the quickest or most athletic team out there, so when we get the chance to (press) it's a great way to play because it forces the other team into turnovers, playing fast and forcing some quick shots and that's what we got out of it tonight.

Drew (Satterfield) had a great game. I thought Aaron (Jackson) and Cole (Smith) did a great job recognizing him in there tonight - they're both averaging around five assist - and they did a good job of finding him and he did a excellent job of finishing.

Drew (Satterfield) is going to keep getting better for us. He's just got to learn to hang on to the ball a little better and better footwork would help that tremendously. Drew plays hard every night and he's a great kid. I'm proud he had a great game for us tonight.

We were leaving him open out there and letting him spot up. He hit a lot of big shots. A lot of them weren't pointblank range -- he hit some 15-footers and a few 3s out there -- so he hit some big shots for them.
