Break Quotes
We're a team of runs and it's hard not to have a letdown after a start like that. We lost a little in the second half and got tentative and stood around. We want to make teams pay in the half court by getting quality looks. We need these situations to experience what it takes to score when we're not getting out on the break or hitting all our shots.
-
Expect Quotes
Our new focus is no more comparisons to last year, no more what people expect of us. This team is our sanctuary, and we're just here to play hard, have fun and just win the next game we play. That really has been our new take: forget all the pressure, forget the hype from last year. It's this year, it's the next game and we have to come together as a team. And we did tonight.

Ball Quotes
We just picked it up. It was the same stuff as the first half. We just dug down a little bit and made it a little uncomfortable for them to run their offense. Once we got the lead, we started building and they really had to come out of their game plan. It looked like their game plan was to hold on to the ball and stay close and once they had to attack, they were very unsuccessful with that and it played well for us.

Attacking Quotes
It was a great third quarter. We had great intensity and defensive pressure, we got momentum going and we took care of business. And in the fourth quarter we just took some time off the clock. There's no sense in attacking a zone when you're up by 30. It wasn't a spectacular show for the crowd, but we got the victory.

Beat Quotes
The energy was real high tonight. We came out with a lot of motivation ? we knew this game was important ? and the fact that we shot well helped us keep that going. They had it in their eyes tonight. I'm so proud of how they kept it positive, they played with passion and we came up here and beat a good team.
