We don’t shoot well outside anyway, so coming into this arena, we knew we weren’t going to shoot the ball well. They battled all night, and I’m not disappointed a bit.

Rodney’s our best player and has played well all year. I know he hates to lose this game, but going out as a senior with that type of game is not a bad job for...

Free throws are key. I think they (Wildcats) ran out eight straight points because they hit free throws and we didn’t.

I think that we came out of every quarter with a run.

When (Smith) got that third one, it was very big for us. He was controlling the inside. But my little guys did a great job in the third and fourth quarters.
