It was such a ordsprog

It was such a street fight that each possession was so important. We were down six. We were down eight, but we could never get that spurt to make something happen until the end of the game when it was too late. To my kids' credit, they never quit.

These kids have been raised to not be quitters and it shows up out there on the court. The thing is sometimes we quit on a possession. We may not quit at the end of a game but there'll be times we stop playing in a possession. We just can't do those things.

At that late stage, it was important to make it a two-possession game.

(Fatigue) certainly could've been a factor late in the game. It took a lot of energy having to fight back to six points from being down 13. I have to give my kids credit though because they kept fighting.

We couldn't buy a shot in that second quarter. You have to credit their defense. Their defense is tough. Part of it was them and part of it was that we turned the ball over. The kids got urgent. We got down, and all of a sudden, we thought we'd make up 15 points on one possession, and that's not going to happen. As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own.

We've been so close, it's been so frustrating in the first five weeks. We told our kids that it was very important for us to really play well. On the offensive line, we told them we just wanted to make it into a street fight for four quarters. They did a good job of that.

Having no penalties for us, that was just huge. We were down late in the game and our kids were still flying around to the football trying to make anything happen. That effort and positive attitude is what is going to help us throughout our season.

We struggled for rhythm the whole game. That's to their credit. We didn't play great but again, credit their defense. We had that one spurt, but they shut us down and we couldn't quite get over the hump.

Russell put together a nice drive to start the second half and then when they returned the punt, you could see our kids heads drop. But to our kids credit, they refused to lay down the rest of the game. They could have quit and folded their tents, but they didn't and I was proud of them for that.

I don't think these kids understand how important every possession is. We got the game won, and we do something stupid to get them back into the game. And I keep telling them that they got to respect these guys. They do what they do very well and they're never going to go away.

We're really proud. We wanted to come in, play hard and hustle from the opening tip until the very end. I thought our kids never quit. We cut it to 10 (in the fourth quarter). That's a couple of possessions. You never know what could happen in a close game. Our kids battled to the end.

We needed a game like this where we had to fight and try to win it possession by possession. We defended well and we played with a passion. We are still trying to figure out who we are as a team, but today we played a smart, controlled type of a game.

Credit Tammy and those Alton kids. They played a great game and had a great game plan. We had some good shots and couldn't get them to go down tonight, but we didn't quit and Anya on the boards was huge.

UIS made some big shots. We had some turnovers that really hurt us were self-inflicted. Those were big plays. It's a championship game, and you make the big plays. I felt proud our kids came back again. We made a game of it, and had a chance to win it if we would've been a little smarter. But we had a young team and those things happen sometimes. Give UIS credit, they did a nice job.

The fans are the most important part of the game. Without them, there is no game. They are going to quit coming to the games if we don't make the game better, more entertaining.
