I was real disappointed with our energy. Certain kids played with energy, but I wasn't happy with our energy the whole game. A win's a win, but we need to learn how to play with energy all the time.

We would rather lose tonight than next week. I think we learned that we have to play the full 32 minutes. We can't just play 16.
