Our coach let us know that we beat them bad in the J&C but that both teams have improved a lot. We came out and played hard tonight. We just got after it. We came out with just as much enthusiasm as we did (Friday) night.

The whole Christmas break we worked on getting out and running the floor. We really focused on getting out and playing our tempo.

I was concentrating on the first one. I didn't miss a free throw all night, I was bottom of the net all night. I stepped up, and it is a routine thing. I have done it so many other times.

Breath does, in fact, connect us all in a very literal way. Take a breath now. And as you breathe, think about what is in your breath. There perhaps is the CO2 from the person sitting next-door to you.
