Jackson had full suspension on his rear wheel so he had an advantage over us in the flat. When it came to the climbs, our 'hard tails' were better.

Avon had a lot to do with our shooting stats. They played great defense. They took away our inside game.

I definitely would say Sully Buttes. They're so athletic and quick. I just don't know if anybody can match up with them for a full game. It will be tough.

We want to pressure them and get some turnovers right away. Hopefully we can pressure their guards and not let them get comfortable in the half-court set.

This is the freshest I've ever felt after a game. Having some depth is so much better for us. When we're in there, we can give 100 percent, have more enthusiasm and energy and fresh legs. There's definitely more competition on the team - it forces the starters to stay on their toes and practice hard. But it's good for the defense.

Pain pushes us to question everything. So question who it is that you want to be and what kind of life experience you want.
