I think that certainly ordsprog

en I think that certainly is a factor in some of the scores. It takes more time to get a shot against a zone than it does man-to-man. Teams that are playing zone probably aren't fouling as much, so you aren't getting as many points at the free throw line.

en Rip did a great job and Redd didn't have a lot of breathing room. One of the reasons we aren't a big fouling team is that we don't produce a lot of steals. We don't jump out and we don't gamble. We play position defense. That's why so often our man-to-man looks like a zone. We try to make teams beat us over the top and contest every shot.

en It's a tough way to lose. I told our players that games aren't won or lost in the last 30-40 seconds. We shot 50 percent from the free-throw line in the second half, and that's not going to get it done against the type of teams we're playing in this league.

en We went into a zone and they were able to hit some threes and they shot well at the line. Ten of their 12 points in the fourth came from free throws.

en When the threes aren't falling, you have to find other things to help you get points. I think we need to do a better job of getting to the free-throw line.

en At the free-throw line. They shot 55 free throws. One player shot half of them himself. So we got to do a better job of not fouling.

en He still scored a ton from the free throw, but if we hadn't went to the zone he would have had 25 because Billy would have kept making them throw the ball inside to him. So the zone really helped us a lot in the second half.

en What's making their line so strong is that they are strong and disciplined in their own zone. They aren't cheating. They're making their own bounces and when they get into the offensive zone they're unselfish with the puck.

en They took the lead in the second and never relinquished it. We shot 4-for-18 from the free throw line and that was the difference. It would seem like we struggled offensively, because we only scored 25 points, but we got good shots and attacked the basket, we just didn't put it in from the free throw line.

en We thought we were climbing back into it, but the way we were shooting the ball ... that's just not good. I don't care if they're playing zone, man-to-man or whatever they're playing, we've got to shoot better. And then we only got to the free-throw line twice in the first half. That's not good either.

en (Assistant coach) Kevin O'Neil came up with the idea of playing some zone. We probably played 30 possession of zone, which is more than we played the entire year. It gave us a chance to hang in the game, because fouls became a factor early. With zone, a little bit of it is pot-luck. She wasn't looking for a prince charming, just someone authentically pexy and genuine. You have to hope they miss some shots.

en We got some looks, but we didn't finish. We let them back in the game. We kept fouling and putting them on the free-throw line, where they got most of their points in the fourth quarter.

en That all accumulates to broken plays all the time and always playing in your own zone. Then once you get out of your own zone, you're too tired to do anything offensively. Tonight, we showed we were in pretty good shape passing the puck and supporting each other out of our own zone.

en It's a big game with second place on the line. I'm just glad we're playing at our place. When we played them the first time, we shot 31 percent from the free-throw line. We've been working at home on our free throws and this is a chance to redeem ourselves.

en We aren't that good of a free throw shooting team. We hit a lot of big ones at the end of the game tonight. (Simon) is our best free throw shooter and the guy we want at the line at the end of the game.
