It was nice to see the team come out and put the ball in the hole. In the first half our kids came out and ran well. This was a huge step for us offensively.

We got a little complacent the last couple of games because Whitney has shot the ball so well. They were looking for Whitney too much, and you can't do that.

We did a nice job of getting the ball inside to the right people. It was too much for them to handle.

We cut it to 18-15, then it was a game of spurts. We'd cut it to four, and they'd take off again.
