It was needed. (Antelope Valley) has played that zone the whole season. Our plan was to penetrate and force them to foul us. We didn't do that. When we didn't throw the ball away, we were taking 3-pointers.

For a guy at the community-college level, he has a higher consciousness when it comes to understanding the game.

We've played well at home this season, but we need to make sure we play like we need to and get ready for the playoffs. We want to be playing our best ball at the end of the season.

We really didn't put the game away when we had the chance, and it was because we didn't take care of the ball.

We didn't execute our game plan at all on offense. Defense and rebounding were great. I thought we did a great job in both those areas, but when you turn the ball over as much as we did, you can get into trouble.

We put five players on the floor who can shoot the ball, and if they are going to double-team DeWayne, we'll find the open man.

I think he's a Division I prospect after a year at this place.

(Marcus) is an average athlete, but he's really skilled and understands the game. I think he will have an easy transition to the Division I level.

I thought we'd be anywhere from a seven to a nine seed, but I thought we'd be at home. I think those losses to Rio Hondo and Victor Valley really hurt us.

This win kept us from being mathematically eliminated (for the conference title). If we had lost, we would have been eliminated with four losses. It was a huge win for seeding purposes for the playoffs.
