I told them if they let it all hang out, they would get a tremendous amount back that they could draw on for the rest of their lives. Very seldom did we play a solid 40 minutes during the season. Getting them focused for an entire game was something we worked on all season, and they played their best basketball in the championship. We finally realized our potential in that game.

First games in tournaments are tough. If you watch the tournament championships in all of the NCAA leagues, you'll see ninth seeds knocking off top seeds. This is a tough time of the year, and everyone is either pretty good or has got a lot better.Jim Roffler
This is the earliest verbal commitment we've received. A lot of kids don't have the insight as to what they want to do, and they spend a lot of time waiting on things. Josh didn't want to mess around waiting for offers, and he decided to come into a program where he can have success on the court and in the classroom.

We did a poor job rebounding. They (the Titans) grabbed 14 offensive rebounds in the second half that enabled them to hang in there and get a late lead.

We have to come out and focus on team defense. We need to play with a lot of emotion and intensity. We're a good offensive team with good balance, but we need to have our 'A' game defensively.

At halftime, I gave the team a little wake up call like I haven't all season. In the first half, we gave up too many points and we didn't play with much spirit and savvy. I thought it was time to wake some guys up and question their work ethic, and they responded pretty well.
