foot four half intensity keeping last night second sustained third took
We sustained our intensity for four quarters. We started the same way we did in Glidden, but there we took our foot off the throttle in the second half and just coasted. Last night we concentrated on keeping our intensity up. We had an exceptional third quarter.

again ball came clock four half held left rushed seconds shot stood ticked top zone
We went into a 2-3 zone with 4:30 left in the half and they held the ball up top for four minutes. We didn't come out and they stood there and the clock just ticked away. They started working for a shot with 30 seconds left. We got the steal, but again rushed a shot and came up empty.
ball forgot guys left played playing shot
I thought we played terrible. The way we've been playing so well, we shot the ball terribly. And then we forgot to play defense. We left our guys too much, we got lazy, we gambled, we weren't disciplined enough on defense.

We expect an even stronger opponent. That's the way the tournament works. Every game is up another level.

Thankfully, we were ahead the whole game, I'm not sure what would have happened had we fallen behind. Give them credit. They frustrated us offensively. We're just happy to get another big conference win.
balance control death half mix sudden tempo
We like the mix we have. Balance is the key. We like to control tempo and play in the half court. Right now, everything is on the up and up. But this is sudden death for every team. So we know nothing is going to come easily.
basketball best defense half individual second
We had our best half of basketball all year. Our defense was outstanding. We started to go a little individual in the second half.
ball handling needed offense pressure
We needed more offense from Cory and he'll do better away from the pressure of handling the ball all the time.

We need to take care of business against Wakefield to give ourselves a chance in the final. We can't be looking ahead.
