Our kids battled back ordsprog

Our kids battled back a couple times. They kept plugging away and we had some chances. I thought we executed well, Brookings just made one more play than we did.

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.

A lot of it came down to that we missed a couple rebounds on free throws that cost us down the stretch. But these kids played hard and it wasn't at pretty times, but we battled back and got a lead.

I expected we'd win eight weights but we got six. You can talk yourself into or out of anything and these kids talked themselves into this the last two days. The kids persevered and kept plugging, plugging, plugging away so this is a pretty sweet feeling.

Coach Doyle Naig

We were ready to play, there's no doubt about that. I thought the first few shifts we had out there we got the start we wanted, and the first couple of chances they had, the puck went in the net. Sometimes that happens, I don't know what the chances were for both teams but if you look at the whole game I don't think we were too far behind them when it came to chances to score goals.

They execute very well and they made shots tonight. Both teams competed. They executed and they made more shots than we did. I thought we battled and we fought. They just made more shots. Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo world.

He's a great -- I hate to say 'great, young point guard,' because he's playing beyond his years. We made our runs, and we went up a couple times. And we had our chances to control the game. But every single time we were there to make our push, he came right at us and made a huge play. He either scored or made something happen for somebody else.

I was at home when he was plugging 14-, 16-hour days, when he really didn't want to be there. He couldn't watch me play baseball, ... I see the work he put into turning them around. He's made a couple key moves that have made me very proud.

By and large when you play a line that good and you hold them to a couple scoring chances -- you aren't going to shut them down completely -- but I thought the kids played well the whole game.

Their kids came out and executed better. We got all of our players involved, which is something we don't typically do. When it came to pressure situations, we reverted back to old habits and relied on a couple of kids.

I thought Pat (Connolly) threw well for us, but you can't win games fielding the way we did. This one is tough to accept. But the kids never quit. The kids hung in there and we battled back-and-forth, back-and-forth. It was a wild high school baseball game.

They came out and got three quick baskets on us. But still I think the turning point was when it was about 45-41 and we had a couple of chances at some rebounds down there - had it in our hands a couple of times - and just couldn't bring it in. I thought that was the big difference in the game right there.

I'm really at a bit of a loss with this team right now. I thought we played a tad better in the second half, but we don't need a tad better - you need to play a lot better. We had a couple chances to get back into the game, but we couldn't convert enough and get enough stops.

We had a big lead and thought we had it made, but we relaxed a little bit and they battled back. I'm a great believer you have to be ready to play 32 minutes of basketball if that's what your coach asks of you. I don't think we got that tonight.

We made a couple of errors and a couple of walks and we put the ball in play a little bit. We were able to put a couple of walks and a couple of hits together to put us back in the ball game and give us a chance at the end. That gives us a lot of confidence and a lot of momentum. I thought that was good.
