Since we've beat them, they've been very good. They've gotten themselves right back in the chase.

Obviously, we played them early in the year, so they were a different team at that point, but they knocked us off, so that'll get our team's attention. They're a team that just doesn't beat themselves. They don't make a lot of mistakes and you know they won't self-destruct.

I thought that possession was one of our best of the night. The ball just bounced in a funny direction and they got a good look.

It definitely can affect you in freshness of legs, but at the same time it can be a positive for us. We've been on a regular rotation, even though we've had only one day to get ready. We've had a regular routine, and Allen's been off for few days. But that can help them with their eagerness and freshness.

We didn't get it inside enough. I didn't think our ball handling was good all night, which caused us problems, but again, you have to go back to Dodge and the way they played.

We've had a good week of practice. We've worked on a couple of things that we need to continue to work on, and we continue to work on our system.

We've got a little moxie to us. I know we've been awfully resilient in a lot of different instances this year.

We did an exceptional job of finding the open people. Our ball movement against their zone led to those looks. And of course, the guys have to step up and knock them in.

You're not going to hold them scoreless and you won't shoot 100 percent. We did a really good job of being consistent with our approach. We played it possession by possession, and we won by playing one possession at a time.

It was more of a case of Dodge City wants to win basketball games, too. We didn't have one of our better ball-handling games, but I credit Dodge with a lot of that. They're a good defensive team, and they've proven that throughout the year.

I honestly don't remember too much about those games, but all we can do is control ourselves and what we do. We've got to focus on us and what we need to do from a defensive standpoint and an offensive standpoint.
