We took control early and that paid off in the end.

We got into a little foul trouble and I thought Chris Smith and Mike Woods came in a did a great job for us. We were able to keep our guys fresh.

They love to run. We really made them work in the half-court set. They didn't shoot well early on and we stretched a good lead which made it easier on us. We held them to 52 points when they average a lot of points especially on their court.

We won the battle. But we want to put it in perspective; it's just one of many battles yet to come.

We came out early with some good defense, which got us some easy hoops off turnovers. We also shot well from the outside, which led to the lopsided score.

The score doesn't reflect how bad we shot.
