The mental errors, we had too many turnovers, too many breakdowns on defense that we don't normally have, and we couldn't really get back into the hunt.

HOPE VI isn't here just to build houses. It's here to build lives. The hope is, if construction is for them, they can figure out their specialty. By helping them to start deciding on careers, we can help them down the path of homeownership. That can lead to the building of equity and wealth in their lives.

In the first half, we got a lot of opportunities just because (Northeast) would play up so much and they were so aggressive. They kind of force you to go to the hoop.

I'm old enough to remember years ago when friends and loved ones had cancer. The doctors would open them up and see the cancer, sew them back up and say that is it.

The kids really worked together as a group. I really commend them on that.

The biggest thing is, down the stretch, they didn't get the offensive rebounds they were getting in the third quarter and start of the fourth. We got those rebounds.

They got a little hot in that third quarter. But we didn't still didn't give up.

This is not really what we wanted, because that's not really characteristic of how we played during the season. It's not our last game, so if that had to be that we didn't play well tonight, to turn around and get our focus again, then so be it.

(Southwest) is a pretty good team, they have a lot of size, their size really bothered us, it made it difficult for us to get it inside.

Actually, our adjustment at halftime was to go work the baseline. And Joe got himself free down there so he was more the recipient of all of that. Joe's a very hard worker on the backboard so he gets a lot of shots that look like that he's not doing much, but he's done a lot of the work to get them.
