It's like David and Goliath. We know how the biblical story goes. We're hoping for a repeat. It's going to take everyone playing their best game at the same time to pull this off.

The reality was we didn't play well. I don't know if it was lack of motivation or frustration. They just kind of spaced out and didn't have anything going. Bad decision making and bad shooting. We missed 10 lay-ups in the first half.

But, don't get me wrong, we got beat by a team that was firing on all cylinders tonight. Roaring Fork played great. It seemed like they could do no wrong.

I was proud of our defensive effort in the second half. Luke played great, and I'm proud of his leadership. Basalt outplayed us for the first half, but games are won at the end.

He's turned into the smartest player in the league during those last 30 seconds. Even with the pressure, he had the presence of mind to run a pick-and-roll with his money man. He looked for the right guy.

Tucker looked like he was coming to the bench after losing a prize fight. They tried to intimidate us. They were doing anything necessary to come out with a win, and they got away with it.
fight win losing
If they just called one of those fouls a flagrant or intentional, all that would've stopped. They were allowing it to happen.
It's gonna take us a weak to lick our wounds and heal if possible, but we'll be ready. Nobody is gonna play us harder or beat us up more than what we've already experienced.

We played them two years ago in a regional. [Lewis] was the starting point guard as a freshman, and he was better than anyone we had faced all season. They're an up-and-down-the-court team, and they like to bring pressure. I think the kids know they have to play the game of their lives if we're going to have a chance.
