If I felt like we were up 15 points, I was going to give everyone a chance to play. Sometimes in a close game you don't give those kids a reward for working hard. I wanted to give them that chance.
It's very disappointing. I thought we came in with a good game plan and it felt like we were just one rebound away from winning. We gave (Fayetteville) too many chances.
I know the only thing different from that year was they played a 2-3 zone. They gave us trouble. This year they are playing more man-to-man. He likes a high-low game and have some real good passers, too.
To have a two or three game lead going into the last few games is a great feeling. This was a big game for us to keep that cushion on those teams in fifth place.
