Turnovers were big and we did a very poor job of rebounding. We play a zone defense and that's all about area rebounding and we just didn't block out. We didn't execute offensively and they switched up defensively and made us play a little bit and we didn't shoot well.
We've been working on defense and rebounding. Everyone knows that if you've ever gone very far in a district or regional [tournament], rebounding and defense is the name of the game.
I basically just challenged them in the locker room. I think they were more worried about this being their last home game. But they came out here and put it together like I knew they would and hit those threes.
In the second half, I felt like we started like we started the game. We went out there and set a pretty good tempo, but then we got flat again on defense. They were taking us one-on-one a little bit and we weren't containing enough.
[The scoring run] was really big. I was trying to get some juniors some playing time and when I got them in it looked like we were thrown off a little bit. I put the seniors back in and I thought they did a great job of controlling it again.
