4 Quotes by Eric Norberg

He's playing hard defensively, grabbing rebounds and taking the ball to the basket. It's been a long road, but he's really stepped it up.

I thought our kids played hard. I thought they played hard in the first half and we gave them a battle. They just kept wearing on us and wearing on us. They're a good team. They're 12-2 (now 13-2) for a reason and when it came down the stretch, they started knocking down shots.

They just shot lights out. They were like 9 of 12 in the first half from three-point range. Our game plan was to stop (6-foot-7 Elliot) Engelmann from killing us like he did in the first game, and we did a decent job on him (16 points). But their other guys came out and hit shot after shot after shot.

But it's a young team, and we expected this type of lapse throughout the season. We have great games, and then we have games like this. They're young, but it doesn't change our expectations.
