You don't have time to get any continuity in your program.

I hold told our guys that in conference plays, other teams are going to keep fighting. A champion has to take the blows, stand back up and keep fighting.

I never close my practices and I shut it down on Friday. I was really excited about the way that they came out and responded. Alan Daniels was the difference tonight. He made some shots that we contested, but he made the shots. I told the guys in the locker room that I do not know what is going to happen from here on out, but we have to treat our next game as a tournament good.

They come out like a veteran team. They are a good team.

It seemed like we were playing in mud tonight. Unfortunately, the young guys that we rely are used to playing on Tuesday and Friday in high school and just could not find it. Give Stephen F. Austin the credit - they made the plays when they had to.

It is unfortunate that we have to sit back and wait to see what happens. We came out tonight and could not get it done. We played hard all night, but did not play tough for 40 minutes, and that is what you have to do to win on the road.

This is a game that is big for our guys. We have to treat this game like our first game in the Southland tournament. We have been working hard to play ULM basketball and in the second half against Lamar, we did that well. Hopefully we will be able to put 40 minutes together tomorrow.

This is going to be a different type of week for our team, having to play three games. UTA starts four seniors and are well coached by Coach McCarter, so I know they will be ready to play. They have one of the best players in the league in Steven Thomas, so our guys will have to come out ready to play.

Southeastern has a similar record to us, but start two seniors and three juniors. We will have to go down there and be ready for a tough game. Our goal though has to be to keep working hard and try to get better everyday.

Texas State has not won a league game yet but are hungry for their first. They play very hard as a team, so we will have to come out ready to compete.
