We're playing good defense right now. But, the main thing is that we've been shooting the ball a lot better than we had been. The last two games I think we hit 15 threes (and) that helps loosen things up inside. We have to have an inside presence in order to get open shots outside against Sioux Falls.

We have some good guards and also some good post players. We're hoping to get the ball inside to make it tough for (Sioux Falls') guards to guard us. Hopefully they'll have to double down.
good inside
I thought we were tentative and they came out ready to go. They played to their level.
thought ready
We went to a zone defense to begin with and that messed our kids up. They weren't talking as much as they should have. We went straight man (defense) and we got them to turn the ball over.

We gave them an easy basket and you can't do that.
easy
We've seen them on tape, but it's hard to know how quick they (Knights) are until you see them play. We gave them too many easy points in the paint.

They're very quick and we started to get a little tired. When we let (Tyler Schulte) penetrate into the lane, we couldn't stop them. And Coleman had a great second half. He put them over the top.

I wondered for quite awhile if a shot would fall. Defensively, we were good enough, but we were tentative out of the gate offensively. We didn't attack as well as I would like from the start.
good fall start shot
We wanted to try keeping Sturgis off balance as much as possible. We knew they were shooting the ball really well the last couple of games.

Free throws were really important in a nip-and-tuck game like this. We made just enough to survive.
