We just couldn't get anything doing offensively in the first half. When we extended our defense to try to make something happen, we gave up some easy buckets.

We played well in the first half. But Lake did a good job of changing up their defense in the second half, and this got us in trouble.

We're throwing strikes off the mound and playing good defense. And we've been having some guys come up and get some big hits when we've needed to.

I wasn't that good on defense.

Our defense was able to get a lot of turnovers and that led to some easy baskets. And it was good to see us take good shots. All of our 3-point attempts were good shots after we moved the ball around.

I wouldn't even call it a title defense. Nobody can take the title away. I just look at it as a new journey by a new team, and hopefully we can get the same results we got last year.
