After those initial mistakes, we kind of relaxed and ran our offense better.

In the first half we made too many mistakes. We had those 12 turnovers and honestly, the coaches felt we were lucky to be tied.

I have a theory that is the only original things we ever do are mistakes. The only thing that we can really attribute to ourselves that is purely original are our screw-ups.

You can walk away from your mistakes.You can turn your back on what you do.Just a little smile is all it takes, and you can have your cake, and eat it too!

We talked a lot about their big guy -- he can score 30 points a game. We sort of picked our poison and said let's defend him as best we can and know where their two best shooters are and hope they don't get hot.

I think we had a nice size advantage, which is always a big help. McMinnville is disciplined and they always play hard and don't make many mistakes. They never seem to beat themselves.
