00:00We had to play really hard tonight to put ourselves in a position to win the
00:03basketball game, set a season high for catch-and-shoot threes with 29.
00:11A lot of those were uncontested, we were two for 16 on uncontested threes in the
00:15first half. I feel like, you know, we left a lot on the table and they did a really
00:21good job, I thought, of not allowing us at times to get the matchups that we
00:27wanted with some of their scrams. You know, they have a great defense, they
00:33communicate well, they're big, they're athletic, they're strong, but we, you know,
00:40we weathered some missed shots, did a good job of taking care of the
00:44basketball, limited them to 13 fast break points and 10 second-chance points, made
00:49them play in the half-court. Our guys really competed on that. They left
00:54everything on, you know, they emptied the tank. They emptied the tank on the
00:58defensive end. It was fantastic.
