 "We were lucky to get out with a win tonight. Credit
coach Stotler and Lewis and Clark. They did a great job of creating
difficult matchups for us on the defensive end; plus, it seemed they
substituted every one or two minutes, and our guys did a very poor
job of matching up.
"We were able to get a two-point lead, 31-29, with a couple minutes
to go in the first half, after giving up four 3s to the best player
in the first half. After the two-minute mark, we went into the
locker room down 31-37.
"We still played from behind in the second half until we had our
defense create some points for us in transition. The defensive
spurt, which was about the only bright spot all night, helped us get
up down the stretch, and we were able to hold them off by rebounding
and hitting some free throws.
"We need to be ready to play at the start of the game better than
we did tonight if we expect to win games. We had 19 turnovers -- we
have to do better than this!
"Darius Adams had 18 points and did a better job of making
decisions, with six assists and three turnovers. Brandon Farmer saved us at
the free- throw line, going 10-11 and finishing with 14 points. Don
Gavin had 17, and Chris Ware had a double-double with 11 points and
11 rebounds."
The Lynx moved to 15-6 overall and 8-0 in the conference.
Lincoln will next play at home on Saturday versus
Shawnee.
