Q2 Defending their shooters and cuts
The gravity of their shooters plus their cutting, like, how difficult was it to defend? How focused did you guys have to be to get it done today?
I mean, they play a lot, like I mean, a lot of the same concepts and they don't really run any sets in the half court. So it was definitely hard to trace what they're doing on defense. But I think we did a really good job in the second half of just trying to be as disruptive as we could on their back cuts and some of their cuts.
Q6 Yaxel Lendeborg's overall performance
Just his overall performance, how do you think he played today just in general? Really good.
I mean, he didn't force anything. It was just, you know, all of his buckets or everything he was doing to impact the game was just in the flow of the game. So, and that's what he always does. So he did a really good job today.
Q9 Breaking down tournament preparation
Can you kind of speak how you've broken this down? You have 2 games here and then maybe 2 games next weekend. Just kind of compartmentalizing and breaking it down a little bit to make it easier on yourself?
I think just honing in on our scouting reports and, you know, trying to pay as much attention to detail as we can. I mean, because these are teams that, you know, we really haven't seen all year. So just to be able to, you know, honing in on scouting reports and, you know, try to get a slight advantage on offensive and defensive side of things. Um, it'll be really good for us to be moving forward.
