They (the Warriors) had a great respect for our inside people, so when the ball went in against either a man (to-man) or zone defense, we had a little rotation that moved E.J. into some spots or gaps where he was open. That's the same thing he did here last year and he also hit some big shots for us in those games. His game accentuated when we get into a two-man game where the ball goes in then back outside because he's a pure shooter.

They shoot the ball really well and take a lot of 3-pointers. They've had some big wins, and they've had games where they were way ahead and let their opponents back in and lost. They also have a good inside presence.

They're 14-14 but they're pretty good. They shoot the ball well, and their big players are very versatile. They aren't overly athletic on the perimeter, but if you run your plays well you don't need to be. I don't take anything away from them because they played their butts off.

They're a very formidable foe and it took an effort to beat them. It's nice getting back home after our only loss of the season and have the fans behind us. This was a much-needed win in the tough Western Division.

This is a big time for us. I'm doing my best to get these guys ready, but we need to get focused when we get to Kennewick and have some good practices.

This is the earliest verbal commitment we've received. A lot of kids don't have the insight as to what they want to do, and they spend a lot of time waiting on things. Josh didn't want to mess around waiting for offers, and he decided to come into a program where he can have success on the court and in the classroom.

We could've gambled and played Germain more in the first half, but we were right in there until the closing minutes without him. He was fatigued, and I didn't want to have him get another foul and then play tentatively in the second half.
|
We did a poor job rebounding. They (the Titans) grabbed 14 offensive rebounds in the second half that enabled them to hang in there and get a late lead.
|
We didn't do a good job handling their defensive pressure, and that was witnessed by very suspect footwork and poor passing on our part. We blew a lot of good opportunities to get the ball inside.
|
We had some tough foul calls against us down the stretch that hurt. We didn't lose our composure, and some of the guys who have been noted for that showed a lot of maturity.
|
We have to come out and focus on team defense. We need to play with a lot of emotion and intensity. We're a good offensive team with good balance, but we need to have our 'A' game defensively.
|
We held them down in the second half and it showed. They (the thunderbirds) played their three-quarter court press to slow us down, but there was only a couple of times when we did. We continued to attack well and hit the shots we needed.
|
We knew it was going to be a really tough game. It's always a tough game coming up here. Especially this year. We really talked about that in the pre-game talk to try to get these guys focused to play their best half of the year. I think we answered the bell.

We knew what they were going to do in the last set, so we switched and put Ryan Campbell on him so he couldn't get to the hole. Carlson made his move and spun back to find Campbell there. We had him locked up 15 feet from the basket and he could do nothing but kick the ball out for a forced three-pointer.
|
We played solid defense and we hit a nice (scoring) streak in the second half.
