Some of our players lacked the kind of intensity that you need to perform your best in the first half. In the second half, we had much better intensity. This is the time of year when I want to see us get better with each game.

We didn't have the same intensity in the third quarter as we did in the first half. We got away from what was working for us. On offense, though, we moved the ball better much better than we have.

We just matched Southwest's intensity in the first half â?¦ they dictated the game in the first half, ... But we settled down and we were able to move the ball around.

The game for us was like our game at Estacada — we lacked focus, intensity and toughness. And they simply beat us.

You find all the great players want to perform at this level.

That was the difference. Our defensive intensity was there in the first half and non-existent in the second half. They just about scored at will. When somebody comes into your home floor and scores 48 points (in the second half), that's an embarrassment.
