All those close losses, not able to let a big lead hold ... instead of folding, we finished strong. It's been tough on us, but I'm proud of them because they stayed positive. The kids deserve a lot of credit.

He became a lot more aggressive in the second half. He took the ball hard to the basket and blocked a number of shots.

I'm happy we got things straightened out. It was the right thing to do. It was just a mistake. The guys on the scorer's bench and the officials did a good job of getting it correct.

They made a great play at the end; it was definitely good. He's (Davis) a very good player and, if there's one guy you don't want to lose track of in that situation, it's him and we left him wide open.

It's a shame that we lost out on a chance to get the No. 3 seed in the tournament. They just made one more play than we did.

Coach (Hank) Murray has an Irish jig we do after a win and we haven't done it since the first game after the winter break. We were excited.

Schwartz hurt us inside the second half, but it's hard to defend everything when you move the ball around like Assumption does. Passing like that is a lost art in high school, but Assumption shows a lot of skill doing it.

Rusty Wolfe may have only scored seven points, but they were a big seven points. He came up big for us when Clinton came back on us.

Dustin got two fouls in the first 30 seconds, so we had to sit him early. He managed to avoid fouling out, but we needed to spot him in and out throughout the game.

We feel terrible about our guy on the last shot. He feels terrible, but we talked to him and we told him that it shouldn't have come down to that. To be honest, we feel sick about the game. It's a game where you feel like you just got kicked in the stomach.
