I thought we attacked [the zone] well. We went up by 17 points and got them out of it in the third quarter.

I'll take what we got in the last 10 seconds every time. Lewis' shot seemed to roll around every end of the basket, and Colin's shot looked like it was in.

I'm not sure we did anything well tonight but compete. We hung in there and kept playing and kept playing. We played good defense all night and never gave up. Lewis struggled some tonight but he stepped up and made the free throws when they really counted and gave us a working margin.

I've been told that if we get them on the wrong night, and they are shooting well, then we'll get their best shot. It seems like we always get everybody's best shot.

It was a very ugly game. In games like that you have to find ways to score and we got to the free throw line and knocked them down. In the fourth, we made some adjustments defensively and I think Bentonville might have been a little tired.

It was just (Rogers') night.

It will be a little harder this year. Teams didn't know a lot about us last year.

It would be nice if everything always came up roses in life and you were the Cinderella story all the time, but sometimes you're on the other side of the coin. It's our fate tonight to be in that role.

It's a different look. We normally don't play teams with four guards, but I'd like to think we're versatile enough to match up against it.

It's getting to be much too common. We have to get where we can put a 32-minute game together. Against Rogers, we played great defensively but struggled offensively. [Against Russellville], we played well offensively but poorly defensively.

Its hard to lose any game and especially one that's so close. The fact that we didn't come away with the win doesn't lessen what these guys did last season at all. They've been a classy, hard-working bunch all year long. They played with a lot of courage and a lot of determination. I couldn't be any more proud of them. I wouldn't feel any better about them even if we'd won that game.

Marcus was more aggressive than we were on defense. You can't allow a great player to dictate what he wants to do. When that happens, you're in trouble.

Most of the polls and rankings are generated out of Little Rock and those people never bother to go see the West play. That's a lack of respect for our conference more than anything else.
|
Our defense really jump-started our offense. That's what we want. We want our defense to set the tone for us.
