We knew coming into the game that defending the 3-point line was going to be a big part of our job and obviously we didn't do that very well.

Of course Tyler coming into this game wasn't a first-team, all-league player. I would say he made a pretty good statement here tonight.

Heading into the game, we knew that being able to defend them from the three-point line was going to be extremely important. We did a great job of following through with that game plan. Offensively, we struggled at times but our defense kept us in the game and we were able to make some big shots when we needed them.

We knew coming in that was basically what his game was. He did a good job hitting some big shots for them.

We knew it was coming, but we tried to pretend we didn't know it was coming,

This was a very big game for us. We don't want to scoreboard watch too much, but we knew the Giants had won (in Washington). Jake is our staff ace, and he is our stopper. When he takes the mound, we expect to win baseball games.
