We wanted to go 3-2 and I thought our kids played hard today. Salem is a good team, and this is a good tournament this year from top to bottom.

I think we have a chance after this tournament, I hope, that we'll continue to make some progression and get better for the stretch here at the end of the season. I think these kids can do that.

It helps when the ball goes in the basket. It makes the game a little easier to manage. This is a strong-willed group right here. They do take things personally. We're working on the focus and the intensity part where we play a little smarter at times, but they are unselfish and are playing well.

This is a good group of kids, intelligent. I think they're learning that when they share the ball within the offense, good things happen for them.

He's had some really outstanding games, both offensively and defensively. A key for him is consistency. He's starting to get better every game.

As much as Mark has done offensively, he's doing a little better defensively, too. On the other side, Erik has really calmed down some of the turnovers since he came back from his injury. Mostly, it's decision-making. He has great vision on the court.

Every year we come up here, it's always close games --sometimes overtime, one or two points. This might be one of the largest margins.
