We knew we would ordsprog

en We knew we would have to set the tone and control the tempo the first five minutes of the second half.

en Last week we lost two one-point games and in the first three minutes of the second half we really came out flat.

Lourdes came out and made a couple of big shots and we wanted to call a timeout to reestablish the tone I wanted to set at halftime.

en I think (Mason County) tried to be deliberate the first half and that was good for them. When you are playing at home, you want to control the tempo.

en I thought the game was played at their tempo, and that's to their credit. They got us to play at their tempo. And then the last four minutes of the first half, we finally got hands on balls and turned defense into offense.

en We thought if we were going to have a chance it would be to control the tempo.

en We wanted to control the tempo of the game. We knew we couldn't go half court with them. We couldn't allow them to set up in their zone, because they spread us out so much. If we don't look in the middle, then we don't get our jump shots from outside.

A tone was set and I think they knew they were in for a contest all night.

en That's definitely concerning. But a lot of things have to go right to win on the road. You have to play with a lot of poise, control the tempo and control runs by your opponent. We struggled with those on the road. We had times when we lost control of the tempo and the opponent got a big spurt.
