We knew it was our fault the drives were stopping. The defense did a great job of giving us time to get things together.

We had to take what the defense was giving us.

What can you say except Kurt was awesome? What their defense was giving us was the shot in the corner, and Kurt was shooting with confidence.

Our defense kept us in the game. Then finally, we got a couple of good looks and made a couple of good stops at the other end that led to fast breaks. Ethan Burt hit a basket that got us going, and then Austin Kelley went the length of the floor.

That's two games in a row the defense has done their job. The defense is giving us a chance to win. We just need to get our offense going.

For us last year, we had the problem of giving up the big inning a lot of the time. We got better as things went on, and this year we're a totally different team, and we have to put that stuff behind us. We've got several freshmen and sophomores we're going to live or die with. That's our future.
