I think the kids did the game plan real well they got a couple of breaks in the end and we didn't, and that was the ball game. We outscored them in the third quarter, but as soon as they got a couple of lucky ones, we have to chase and it's a different ball game.

I don't get all wound up. I accept things as they come. I've always stressed moderation. I never got too high or too low. I think it helps being on an even keel. It was the same way with our players.
