COACH LOWE “I thought it was a great effort by our guys, as far as really hanging in there mentally and fighting and battling till the last basket by Tracy.” “In the locker room we talk about the ‘Loose Ball War.’ When you get lost balls, a lot of the time your going to score.” “We showed great mental toughness and focus.
