We tried to keep our composure throughout the game and stick with our original game plan of pushing the ball and keeping the transition going to get it into a fast-paced game.

You can always harness your aggressiveness. It's harder to go from not aggressive to aggressive. If you're getting burned on it, it's easier to pull back than the other way around.

They were bigger than us but we knew that we had to push to the basket. We had to go strong and not worry about them blocking our shots. When we did, we drew fouls and wound up going to the line.

I've turned it more than once and it's pretty stretched out. All it needed was a quick tweak and it was OK.

The game can almost be looked at three ways. All the way to the hoop, the mid-range stop and pop, and the 3-pointer. Mid-range is harder because of the balance you need, to go full speed and then stop and pop. Basketball is definitely a game of balance.
