[Maryland] had a great game plan coming in and that plan was really just to hold the ball for as long as possible. Not having the ball and then not taking advantage of the times when we did have it really killed us in the end.

Now the game is afoot -- the U.N. has the ball and Iran is more defiant than ever.

We didn't hold Moore down and that was the difference in the game. We couldn't run the ball like they could. We had no answer for their running game today.

You go into it with a certain plan and you have to adjust as the game unfolds. Personally, I think it's exciting.

We just stuck to our game plan, which was to attack them, push the ball up as much as possible so they really couldn't get set up in the zone. The second-half difference was that we made defensive stops.

We stuck to our game plan of pushing the ball down the court. We kept pushing and pushing, and when (Flower Mound) started to get tired, we pushed some more. Some of their players got tired, but I kept fresh legs on the court by subbing in and out.
