Last night we came out a little flat-footed. We weren't quite ready to play. Coach wanted us to come out here and not take anything for granted, just come out and take care of business, and that's what we did right from the outset.

Coach had told us to be patient, that play would be there.

A lot of teams try to slow us down. At the half, we just decided we had to play our kind of game. It was a good character builder.

We had to play catch-up all night, and they did a good job of shutting down all of us offensively. We didn't get many chances.

I can't really say (one) guy totes us. Different guys step up every night and play well.

That's the key for us ? play hard each night. It doesn't matter who we're playing as long as we play hard each night. I feel like, if we had played hard like that a couple of games earlier, we could have had a couple of victories instead of losses.
