This was a big game for us because they are our in-state rival. It also was a TV game, so who wouldn't be up for playing on TV?

This next game is the most important for us for a number of reasons. We have lost three in a row. This is an important home game, and we are only three games out of first place.

The worst thing you can do in a game like this is come out and start slow and let them think they can compete. We showed them they wouldn't be able to compete.

They got open threes and they knocked them down. That's why they made a game of it.
