They continue to improve on their aggressiveness and team execution on both offense and defense. We were just struggling with turnovers.

It's something we've worked all season for. It's a milestone and a big day for the program.

It's a fun time of the year, especially with where we are in the conference. Every game is important.

It was probably the toughest team we've played all year. It was a good game, but it really showed some things that we still need to work on, some weaknesses we have.

There was no question what we needed ? a shooter.

They are a quick and athletic team. Teams like that do a good job of getting rebounds.

They took it to us. I'm proud of the way our guys hung in there and battled back.

A couple (players) looked tired. But we talked before the game about that and said playing (back-to-back games) is no excuse.

Sam got a couple of open 3s to get going. We want to ball in his hands down the stretch.

Brian and Jake really gave us a lift in the second half. We played well except for those first couple of minutes.
