We lost those games early, not late. I was proud of the way the guys played, even with the ones they hit out. But if we don't go down 5-1 (in Game 4), we're still playing right now. That's a lot better feeling than (Thursday) night, when we were out of here in about 90 minutes.

Everything goes through Tyler. Tyler brings almost a coach-like mentality to the court. He's just a great competitor. He loves being in the heat of the battle more than any other player I've coached.

He jumps really high, and he's tough to block.

We have a lot of options with him.

I thought Game 1, both teams were neck-and-neck, and then they got a nice run, and from that point on, they had us out of our system. We had a tough time stopping them. They did a nice job siding out. We tried to put some pressure on them with our serving. I thought they passed the ball really well tonight. When we had balls we could block or plays we could make, we didn't turn them.

Some games we haven't had everyone playing up to their capabilities. That's been shown, too.
