We knew (the Cougars) were deeper than us. We knew they were more athletic than us. But we had a game plan coming in, and for all but six minutes, we were able to stick to it.
I wouldn't trade what we've done for anything. I think going on the road has made us a better team.
I told (my players), if we could keep (score) in the 50s, we'd win.
With all that returning experience, I like our chances. Adam and Tolbert will be four-year starters.
Man, it would've been neat to have him in Milton.
Their athleticism is scary. You see kids in the Panhandle who are 6-2, 6-3 ... but these kids are 6-7, 6-8. I just hope we can score enough against them to find a way to pull it out.
We were just hoping he didn't get 30. Everybody we talked to over here, the feeling was that he was going to his points, but you had to stop everyone else.
The competitive nature comes out down the stretch.
To get here, you have to be good, but you also have to be lucky. That was a case where they got a lucky bounce and it might have been the biggest difference in the game.
Their five starters averaged about 70 points a game. We averaged around 50, so we didn't want to get in a running game with them.
