We wanted them to have to shoot over us.
We averaged 43.5 points a game this year and they came up with 29 of those so it's obvious how important they were. As the season wore on, we developed other options, but they were definitely the leaders. They received a lot of attention from the other team's defense all year and they were still able to do well.
It was kind of a lackluster game. We did what we needed to do to win.
