I was very pleased with our bench play in the second quarter. I mean, we didn't skip a beat.
That's a weakness for us right now, really. The thing I told my team right after the game was the two things we've got to be relentless on are rebounding and free throws. ... It's seems like every time we play, we're giving up second-chance points ... and those things break your back.
I was really pleased with Dean Johnson, he's a guy who works really hard for us and gets a lot of rebounds for us, but that's the most active I've seen him.
I think we were looking past them a little bit, which I hate to admit because we respect all teams.
First of all, looking at them, they're probably the best team we will have played all year.
Our game plan worked and the kids executed it to perfection, which is what gave us that chance to win the game.
Honestly, I don't know what we can do man-to-man to take those two out of the game.
Coming out of the holidays, you worry about them being a little sluggish.
We're just stunned. We thought we were going to win that game.
I think it comes back to relying on the things we do real well. ... I think we're going to have to do the same things, spread the floor ... and look to penetrate and kick.
