“(SouthWest) hit their free throws down the stretch; we didn't. But I like the way our guys kept fighting. We just made some mistakes late in the game.”
“I give Manteo credit for hanging in there the first half when it looked like they were out of it. They kept playing, and they had a little spurt there at the end of the first half, which kind of gave them some momentum.”
“I don't know what it was, but we played an excellent first half up until the last two minutes. Manteo did a good job in the second half getting some second and third shots, and they hung around until they got that spurt, and when they tied it and took the lead, we got a little tense.”
