Every time they came back, we had answer for them. We were able to make our free throws and take care of the basketball a little better.
Without our defense, who knows what might have happened tonight. But we have to score some points. You can't win games with just defense.
We've been able to get other guys to score. Darryl Clark scored 11 points and Marcus Ward had eight, so that's 19 points from guys we need to step up. That's going to be big for us.
We struggled to score and that has been the issue for this team the whole season. We need guys to step up and knock down shots. When we get good, open looks, we need to make the shots, and we're not doing that right now.
Coming into this season, I don't think anybody expected us to do this. It was quite a surprise.
David does everything for us, and not having him in there definitely hurts us. I'm sure he would have made a difference. I don't know if he would made the difference between winning and losing.
We will be all right there. It's a matter of the kids making plays out there.
They got more easy baskets in the third, and we weren't showing enough intensity on either side of the ball. We were hanging our heads a little, and I tried to tell them when they feel like that they need to fight harder.
The first time around, they clearly dominated from start to finish. In the second game, we were able to take advantage of our scoring opportunities and we played more composed. They didn't have anything going.
He had, by far, the best game of his career.
