It's a great upset for us from a position standpoint. We have to do our job (today) or the same thing could happen to us. We can't worry about what other people are doing right now.

This was a big game ... and when you win at home in your house, that makes it more special coming against a team as good as Northern. When you're playing at home and have that atmosphere, the kids love it.

We had several goals, and one of them was to host the conference tournament. We did that as well last year. It was a great success. We had great crowds and super support.
adjustment affect games last lose players step time
We've had to make that adjustment of not having him on the floor, but these last two games have helped. Any time you lose one of your players, it's going to affect the team. We have other players who have to step up.
ball few games good last talented win won
We've been doing it the last few years, so we're used to it. They're a talented team. They won a lot of ball games early, so this was a good win for us.
ball boards cleaning defense floor great pushing shots tough
Our defense was just awesome. We were making them take some tough shots and we were cleaning those boards and pushing the ball up the floor to get great shots.
composure definitely eventually frustrated knew shots tides
I think we really got frustrated in the first half. They were definitely on fire. We were able to keep our composure and knew our shots would eventually fall. Fortunately, the tides turned.
basketball excellent war
That was really a war out there, it really was. Those were two excellent basketball teams. We just had to battle, battle, battle.
That's the way its been for us all season.

Like we said Saturday, come (Monday) we're going to be ready to prepare for this weekend's games. It's a game we're looking forward to because they beat us. We're looking forward to playing them in the latter part of the season.
against bench easy elevated game joe pressure
I can't say enough about what Joe and Travis did off the bench against Northern. In a game like that, it would have been easy for them to put some pressure on themselves. But they elevated their game and responded so very, very well.
