We didn't play tough defense in the first half, and it's very tough to come back against a team with the firepower of the Roadrunners when you trail by double figures late in the game.

We played in-your-face defense and ran out to a 16-3 lead in the first quarter. At half, we led 22-10.

We just ran out of time. One of the reasons for the outstanding comeback was the rebounding of Nick (Gonzalez) who snagged eight in the final quarter.

The second half was really a battle.

We had a bad third quarter. We weren't able to get many shots, and that's a credit to Lemont's defense. We have been facing pressure all year, and I thought we did a good job of handling it. We had a lot of trouble in the half-court. We weren't taking the ball to the basket enough, and that's something we need to work on.

They started to break down our defense late in the game. They're a good team.
