anxious great job needed offensive playing sluggish
In the first half, we were sluggish and we weren't doing what we needed to do to be successful. They were doing a great job of controlling the tempo, and they were playing great defense. I think on the offensive end, we were getting a little anxious in the first half.

We didn't expect a big lead, but it certainly worked to our advantage. Once we figured out that we didn't have to take the first shot every time down the floor, and that the clock was on our side, we we ended up being better off.
defending playing sluggish start state
We may have been a little nervous. Playing the defending state champs may have had something to do with it, and we had never been here before. We got off to a slow, sluggish start and never could get going, but they had a lot to do with that.
