00:00We know as coach said before in his statement, when we went down he wasn't concerned about
00:07the score.
00:08I think we were worried for a second, but then we just knew if we played our principles
00:12and played our game plan, we were going to be fine.
00:15That run that we went on afterwards was a culmination of that, so sticking to what we
00:20know how to do helped us go on that run and keep our foot on the gas in the second half.
00:26Our main principle was to just go out there and hustle and not let them get the easy open
00:32loose and shots that they want.
00:33Early we struggled to just get back on defense and obviously was missing a couple shots.
00:38They were making shots, so we just knew we had to go out there and just play hard.
00:43We just know that's one of our strong suits for this season, just with us being so deep
00:47in the frontcourt and having so much length.
00:49We know that's something we can lean on, even if our shots aren't falling, as long as we
00:52attack the glass and get a lot of rebounds, that will give us the advantage over the other
00:56team and give us extra shots.
