We talked at halftime about character, composure and about this being a season-defining game for us. When I said that, I hoped we'd win.
I think the first half we did a good job contesting their shots and taking away the things away we wanted to.
The thing that feels good is when we get fouled you can tell we feel confident when we go to the line.
I felt like defensively we took away what we wanted to. We wanted to get out on their shooters.
Our seniors, they left in all on the floor. They battled.
You can give a lot of that to their pressure. In the second half, we did a better job getting into our offense.
We have to keep finding ways to get the ball down into the post to break defenses down.
The third quarter, we came out with a lot of intensity and did a good job. But they stepped up their defensive intensity, made a run, and we never responded when they made their run.
That was a big shot. Any time you can get an offensive rebound and kick it out for a 3-pointer that's a big shot.
