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.

Coach told us to play our game and don't change our offense or defense. This is our game to win.

Unfortunately, New Mexico depends significantly on federal dollars. We have four military bases here in New Mexico. We have two national labs that are very important to our national defense.

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.
