I thought we stepped up our intensity in the second half. I thought our depth really came into play. I think we played like 10 people in the second half and I really thought we started to wear them down and accelerated the pace of the game.
We paid a lot of attention to what people were saying and that hurt us. I felt last year was unjust for us to be picked so high when we hadn't done anything to prove we deserved that.
I don't want to say people aren't paying attention to it, but you get the sense that it's not the most important thing on the agenda. That being said, I'm trying to tell my players to just enjoy the ride.
