I can't be any prouder of our effort and I thought Princeville played great basketball. If they shoot one percentage lower then they don't win. We executed everything we wanted to, we played hard defense and I thought we rebounded pretty well considering their size advantage. I couldn't ask for a better effort.
More Quotes from Eric Long:
Chad is shooting 75 percent on the year and I told him before he shot the third one the odds of him missing was zero. He did, but we did a good job of getting rebounds off of those misses and I am glad we overcame those types of things. You are going to miss free throws from time to time, but we still found a way to win.Eric Long
We got some real good looks, even when we were down two or three. We executed some plays, but we just couldn't knock down those open looks. Give Orion credit, they have to be the best defensive team we have faced all year.
Eric Long
If you look at their field goal percentages from last year, and compare them to this year, you'll see a huge improvement. That is due to dedication and deciding that they are going to become better offensive players. Their ability to play better offensively combined with the other weapons we have, made us a tough team to stop.

It is getting to that point in the year where you have to start playing your best basketball. Not that we have been messing around, but it's time to get serious. We are nine days to the end of the regular season and it is time to put up or shut up and I am challenging these guys to put it up.

I couldn't be any prouder of these kids in this locker room right here. They played a great basketball game. Lets just say that there were forces outside of our control that cost us the game.
Eric Long
The game wouldn't have been that close if we would have been able to make some free throws. We made them when we had to with Chad and Brandon at the end.
