The game flow was fairly slow. We jumped out to a good lead, and basically maintained it.
Connecticut was going through the Industrial Revolution and there were tons of jobs around. That's exactly what the Irish needed. Many of them were poverty stricken.
It seems to me there is a real revival of Irish culture. The culture seems very much alive.
That last hill was the hardest hill to climb and I think we might have worn out with only seven guys at the moment. We have a reputation as a run and gun team. But the seven guys have been working very hard on being patient and it paid off.
You'd think you were in Cork again. You find those around the state a lot right now.
The bench squad is what has gotten us here so far. They're going to keep doing the job, I can always fall back on them.
Their rebounding hurt us a little bit. They have three guys that are taller than our tallest player and they're very physical. They do a good job crashing the boards and we had a hard time keeping them off.
Josh Barnett had a great game tonight. He is normally a bench player, but he stepped it up. He has been injured in the past, but he has been feeling better and doing great the past two weeks.
We played like a team more than anytime this season. I've got to hand it to the guys that were here tonight ? they did a spectacular job. They were patient, they played hard defense and they got the job done.
