All things considered, we probably played the best game we've played all year, and we needed to do that. I thought they played outstanding.

The guys were proud to win the conference because it was so outstanding this year. Our guys have done a good job. They've prepared well and played well and had a great regular season. Now we're getting ready to start a new season, and we'll get to work on that.

He's made himself a good shooter, and I think that showed tonight. He's a good athlete, and I think he likes all sports. That's a great opportunity for him at Minnesota, and I think he's happy about it.

I don't really pay much attention to the polls. I'm sure it's fun for the guys to look at it and talk about it. But I don't think it's a big focus for them either.

I think our guys played hard tonight. We're doing a good job of taking this one game at a time and focusing on the team we're playing next and not worrying about what's ahead. We prepared well for Jerseyville and now we will get prepared for whoever we play next.

I think our guys played the press very well tonight. We got some big steals and were able to get back on defense when we didn't steal the ball. I was proud of our defensive effort.

That's been something we've done all year. We have good shooters and guys that are good competitors.

It's the first time we've had a physician with us. It's a good thing we did because he stitched Spencer up at halftime or we wouldn't have had him otherwise.

They're a good basketball team and we knew they wouldn't quit. They handled our pressure very well in the first quarter and we couldn't get our run going.

They're playing very good basketball right now. They play hard, they're very athletic and they've got a new player that is giving them a lot offensively.
