This is huge for this group. This is their first GDC win on the road this season.

We've hung on in a couple of games lately. We came through at the end.

We want to play Mitchell. They have been the measuring stick of where you need to be with your team. We've earned this and we're going to enjoy it. Now, we need to get our kids prepared in just a few days.

He's been a rock for us the last three years. When you have a guy that good, you build a team around him, particularly on the offensive end of the field, and that's what we've done.

We felt we were attacking the basket well in the first half and we took what they gave us. It just wouldn't fall. Either team could have had a comfortable lead but the shots wouldn't fall.

We played much more like we're capable of in the second half. We played with purpose and direction. We acted like we wanted to play again next week.

We had too many turnovers (15). I don't think it was the press. At times we made poor decisions and ill-advised passes.

He's made three or four goals in the last three years that I need to see that again on tape before I can believe it. He's had a couple of jaw-dropping goals from impossible angles and banana shots. He's done some pretty bizarre things that turned out to be really good. Everybody just stands there and shakes their heads.

The main three for Brookings, they got the ball to them. The rest of the team worked to get them open. Their rebounding was intense at times and they'd look to get the ball up court.

We've got one game to prepare for this week. We played a good first half the first time. We're going to try and continue that the whole game.
