Santa Cruz is the best team in the league. But I think SLV will have something to say about that.

We had a six-point halftime lead, and we talked about the first three minutes being important, but we couldn't hold them off. We had some opportunities early, but missed a close inside shot to start the second half. They eventually took the lead before we got on the board.

I think it was when they were sophomores, when Swift, Van Vliet, those guys were sophomores. I think that's the last time we beat them.

Our guys weren't going to quit. It just wasn't enough to get it done.

We made them the first time, and we won. We didn't make them this time, and we didn't win. That's high school basketball and the way the ball bounces.

I don't think we played very well the last two nights. We have to get a lot better. We'll take a couple days to try to turn things around and hopefully right the ship.

Burlingame is very good. They're not very big, but they move the ball and they all can shoot it. They're very well-coached.

What a great way for the seniors to go out.

We struggle offensively. Defense is what keeps us around. Senior forward Evan Walker brings it every night defensively, he works his butt off. All our guys do.
