Man, that was like pulling teeth out there tonight.
That team played as hard as anyone we've seen so far this season. It was tough, and we never got the crowd into it, never got those scoring bursts.
That lead disappeared in a hurry, didn't it? We got a couple of key possessions, and managed to get the lead back pretty quickly.
For some reason, this gym has been our nemesis.
You play the whole league season to get a home court in the tournament.
We made our free throws; we were 21-of-23 from the line, so that was encouraging.
We gutted it out. We had a poor first half. But we played a lot better in the second half. We really picked up on defense and caused a lot of turnovers.
We couldn't put them away. Wayne Franklin had a great second half. I thought we did a real good job defensively in the first half on him, but their scheme in the second half did a great job of getting him more touches.
They'll play a little zone. But basically they're a man team.
So, we've got to defend that post play.
