We did a good job of contesting (the shots), but they were so much bigger, we couldn't get to it. Once (the ball) got down to waist level, we had the possession arrow. When it got down on the floor our football guys recovered the fumble.

That's what we try to do. We need to deflect the ball and steal the ball into easy hoops and in the second half we did a better job than that.

We wanted to put a lot of pressure on the ball. Their size is their strength. We didn't always get the turnover, but they didn't always get comfortable in their offense.

I thought we played real solid throughout. We were the No. 3 seed and they were the No. 6, so theoretically we're supposed to win and I'm pretty happy with the outcome and the way we played.

We haven't pressed in a couple of weeks. We're not a great defensive team, but we get after it. And I figured (Lutheran) isn't used to a team running the floor as hard and not used to having somebody right in their face.

We talked about the last key of the game ... the fifth key was playoff mentality. 64 teams in Division 4 played one game, so they are one-and-done. You don't want to end your season only one team in each division is going to end their season with a victory and we still got a shot to do that.
