At the start of the third quarter, the defense was really good again and we got some easy baskets. From that point on, we settled in and played (more) defense.

We turned them over a few times in the second quarter, and that led to some easy baskets in transition. Then we hit some threes and got some baskets inside. That was one of our best quarters of the season.

That's one thing we try to do. Obviously, every team wants to get easy baskets. We try to just build on every other teams mistakes and try to get easy baskets.

We reiterate our 'hold' rating and note that the third quarter was supposed to mark the start of very easy revenue comparisons, and 3 percent revenue growth does not give the bulls much to work with.

Once we started playing hard defense we started scoring easy baskets.

We knew when we won conference we could go to state. And our defense was the difference.
