We didn't want to be negative. Something I've learned is once you get negative with younger players, they get frustrated and things go downhill from there. |
We knew Kyle and Alex were hitting some big shots. We knew they were feeling pretty good. We wanted to get it in to them. |
We knew that somewhere down the line playing three games in three days was going to catch up to them. |
We needed to pick up our defense. (Forward) Steve Snider and I have been saying this whole trip that defense is going to win this for us. |
