We needed to win the rebound battle and we crushed it! We needed to get post touches and then look for people slashing to the rim and we executed that very well. We wanted to push the tempo to get touches early to our posts before the help came and that was key to us starting our run in the second quarter. They then really packed it in the paint and that’s were we connected on 4 of our 8 made 2 pointers. To put up 73 points in a game and only score 10 in the first quarter is just awesome! We just need to focus now on the next big game whomever it may be, get ourselves mentally ready to go and then come out and execute!”
