00:00 Say it for me.
00:02 You know, tonight there were some really good breakthrough moments at times,
00:06 but then it's like we never could quite catch momentum in the way that we wanted to.
00:09 And so, you know, I think with ball that was a great breakthrough for us.
00:15 We really needed to make some of those changes and improvements,
00:17 and so I was really happy to see that.
00:19 I think overall we just gave away too many things.
00:22 We always say that we want to be so prepared that we can walk into any arena
00:25 knowing that it's ours to defend as long as we just do our job.
00:29 And tonight we just gave away too many things, starting on bars.
00:34 I don't think they were cautious mistakes.
00:36 I do think they went aggressive, but some casts that were a little bit off
00:40 and some landings that weren't quite in the way we wanted them to be.
00:43 But still, even with giving those mistakes away,
00:45 we were pretty close going at the halfway point and going into floor.
00:50 Again, we just kept trying to build momentum
00:52 and couldn't quite break through in the way that we needed to.
00:55 But overall, you know, this arena, it was energetic.
00:59 The crowd was--it just added a lot of enthusiasm,
01:03 and we're going to use this experience, grow from it,
01:05 and figure out the tweaks we need to make for next week.
