With those five, especially in practice, I just think they've run real well together and that gives us something to build on.

It'll be a learning process I'm sure, but they've worked hard in practice. I think they're enjoying what they're doing and they want to get better.

A lot of those teams normally are district teams for us, so we can kind of see how we measure up.

It's not like us. We haven't done that in practice, so I guess you've got to credit their defense ? their speed, their ability to strip you.

Everything in the shot chart in the first quarter was underneath the basket. Maybe they were a little bit more physical than we were at the start of the game or maybe we didn't box out as well as we normally do.

I thought defensively we were in their faces the whole night. I don't know if they really ever got an open look at anything. I think we got a lot of deflections and then people ran the court awfully well.
