Schramm got us off to a great start offensively. It was close for a while, but then we got a big run and played well to make things go our way.

It took us a while to adjust to the physicality. We did a great job on Lawrence. We did a good job of running at him. We kept coming with people; we're a little deeper in the post than they are.

We'd like to go down and win one -- or several.

I think Kris (Durham) had one of his better games with four assists, four steals and he shot 75 percent from the field. Nate (Greer) had another great defensive game.

We really played well, but I think we can play better. We shot well, hitting 58 percent of our shots, and our defense held them to 27 percent shooting.

It was a big, big issue of importance for us. We keep teaching our pitchers to pitch down in the strike zone to get ground balls, but to do that, you've got to have guys who can pick up the ball.
