“They're a good ball team. They've definitely got one of the best guards in the state in J.J. Seymour. He can handle the ball, shoot it and he is a great athlete. They are big and athletic inside. It's easy to see why they're ranked. They will be a tough team.”
“James heated up in the second half, but we couldn't get the defensive stops to go with the offense. Their zone caused us fits for three quarters. We just never caught a break and couldn't get the momentum turned in our favor.”
“Abilene made some shots. They played extremely hard. They fouled to lengthen the game and to see if we'd make free throws. When we missed a few they just kept going.”
“I thought we played OK. I thought we came out with a lot of energy. I thought defensively we had a quite a few breakdowns and we got into Abilene's helter-skelter game.”
