I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
I thought we played very well. Both teams were trying to force their will and style on each other. Obviously, Carl Elliott hit some big shots.
We really missed him today, particularly just trying to establish an inside game to establish a tone. He's a hard guy to replace.
We're just trying to follow our dreams. That's it and that's all we're focused on. We can't tell you about anything in the past.
Teams are funny. Sometimes you take two steps forward and take a step back. And you take four steps ahead and two steps back. I am trying to get to the point where we are not taking any steps back in any area.
I don't want to say people aren't paying attention to it, but you get the sense that it's not the most important thing on the agenda. That being said, I'm trying to tell my players to just enjoy the ride.
