We knew that they were battle-tested. And we thought it would be a good challenge for us facing that kind of quickness.

It's going to be a tough game for us, ... Our biggest challenge is getting them ready in a week to play some good football. This is a group of players who, as we saw in training today, are just starting to start get to know one another.

I didn't think they would beat us, but I thought it would be a bigger challenge.

I thought we had enough scrapping points to keep us in the game. They got a lot too, but we got enough to close out the game.

I thought they played a great game. They had us on the ropes a bunch of times throughout the game. And there's been a couple of games this year where we had that situation and weren't able to score. It was nice that we sort of turned it around.

That was big because I thought they'd make some adjustments at halftime and make a run at us. It seemed like there were opportunities whenever they scored, we were able to answer. Dan hit some big baskets for us.
