I thought we did a decent job defensively. You have to give them credit, they were knocking down big shots. Every time we'd make a run, they would hit a big shot.

Once we had the lead, we wanted to take the air out of the ball. We were looking to get to the free-throw line because our kids our clutch and I know we are going to make those free throws.

I think it's going to be a lot of fun because it's a wide open race. We're excited to get started and see how it all works out.

We were trying to go aggressively to the basket and I felt like we were doing that. But we just couldn't get to the foul line. We were being aggressive but we weren't shooting any free throws.

He gets sneaky points. He just snakes his way in and scores.

We felt pretty comfortable despite the tempo. That's the beauty of our team. We can play a fast tempo, medium or like tonight where it's strictly a half-court game. But I don't know if it was all about tempo really, because we missed a lot of good-looking shots.

The more people we have scoring, the harder it is to defend against us. And tonight, we had a lot of people scoring.

We expected to see a lot of zone tonight, based on what we had seen from scouting and the last time we played them. We knocked down shots and that's a great way to beat a zone. We were definitely hitting our shots tonight.
