I felt really good being tied at halftime. We weren't shooting the ball well, but I thought that would get better, and I thought they were getting tired.

I thought when we went up by three, that would be the turning point, that we were ready to go on a run. I thought that was going to be it, but it didn't work out that way.

I thought our defense set the tone for the game early on, and we were able to ride that momentum for the rest of the game. Even when our second unit went in, we didn't have a drop off. We had (Ceres) down and we didn't let them back up.

We didn't get the easy baskets we wanted.

We came out today with the goal of playing as hard as we possibly could. I believe that we did that, but we just couldn't make shots. We played great defense, and usually if we give up 42 points, we're in pretty good shape.

Anybody is free to shoot the ball in our offense. They have the green light if it's a good shot. We've worked hard on helping them identify the difference between a good and bad shot.
