It's always going to be a game. You have to credit Norwood, they came out and they were hitting their shots and scrapping. We needed to compose ourselves and put together a better 16 minutes in the second.

I'm not going to say that there wasn't some good defense in there, but it was a sloppy game -- a lot of throwing the ball around the gym and we didn't finish well. It was two close ones, a win and a loss, in a good tournament. It will help us out down the line.

They weren't shooting particularly well, we were playing great 'D', however you want to say it, I was very surprised at the first half. I knew (Mansfield) had a lot more going and a lot more in them. I prepared them for the second half -- you are never really prepared -- but (Mansfield) fought hard. They are an excellent team.

Sometimes you don't start out with the energy you should and they start hitting shots. But to our credit, we stuck our noses in there and didn't get discouraged. We just kept playing our game and didn't get away from what we do best.

The competition I played against was fantastic, but golf is a different game now. The courses have shrunk because the equipment has gotten better. They're hitting the ball 10 to 15 percent farther because of the changes in the golf ball.

We just came out hitting and digging. We should have finished it off in Game 3.
