It was good to go against a different style than what we've been seeing. They had good size, but the big key for us was that we dominated the glass. They pressed us whether they made it or missed it, and we did a good job being aggressive through their press.
More Quotes from Alan Johnston:
We played tremendous team basketball. I knew that we were going to be able to get the ball inside against this team, and it worked out well that we did. It's a huge win for us on the road.Alan Johnston
I was a little bit skeptical because this kid was only weeks removed from having his brain opened up. I asked his father, Earl, and he said the doctors were OK with it, and I double-checked with the doctors.

We can't be lethargic and feel sorry for ourselves after what happened (at JT). Our kids are resilient. They had two good practices and if we can come out and with the same intensity we had Tuesday, we'll be fine.

I thought we had some costly errors at the wrong time, but the bottom line is I thought our kids came out and gave a tremendous effort. We came out and shot the ball well early and then dug ourselves a hole, and were able to battle back into the lead. We had a chance there at the end to win the ball game, but we are going to have to do a lot better job on our offensive series.

The good thing about this team is on any given night someone can go off and score a lot of points. We are not a one-dimensional team. We've had nine different people as leading scorers in games, and that speaks volumes.

We are in the single-elimination tournament point right now, and I don't think our kids are ready to be eliminated. I know this means something to this basketball team and they are going to come out and play like it means something.
