Offensively I thought we got a lot of great looks, but we didn’t convert. The officials in this game let people play physical and we have be able to mentally finish point blank shots that are contested and uncontested. Rebounding was a key to this game and for the lack of finishing shots we sure did an awesome job of hitting the boards. 16, 10, 9, 8, and 7 is what all of our starters finished with. We only gave up 7 offensive boards. We did a great job on their shooters as they were only 2-20 from threes. Now on to the next game on Thursday, another quality opponent in ACDC.”
