We're looking forward to it and hopefully will do some things well and represent Carmel well.

I saw 10 kids working together for a common cause and that's the big thing we've been preaching going into sectionals. Now it's time for us to continue that effort. I told them those last two minutes is what tourney basketball is all about. We've got to have that effort for 32. If we do that, we'll be in good shape.

We've got to do a better job of not getting too excited, and once we get a steal, to make sure we value our possession. It's almost like we're getting too excited wanting to get a basket on the other end. We did that too many times tonight and you can't do that against a good team.

We missed some free throws down the stretch that we normally hit. It's a little different in sectionals, a little tougher to hit those free throws. Our kids battled and made them work for everything they got.

I told the players to remember how it feels (to lose). I told them, 'I'd rather feel like this now than in February,' and the kids understand that. They've got big goals, which they should. Hopefully we'll learn from the experience and recognize what we need to do better.

It's a neat honor to be selected, and it's great for our kids.
