00:00 >> Again, is the biggest takeaway, is it the near comeback or is it at the end?
00:06 >> I think probably just never giving up and just keep fighting.
00:13 And down 20, it was just like, listen, we gotta take it all,
00:17 we gotta take good defensive possessions.
00:19 Our defense, I thought was the best defense in the second half that we've had
00:23 all season.
00:24 So even when they both depressed, they weren't scoring on it.
00:26 We had some really good stops.
00:28 I thought we out rebounded them, which was a big part of it.
00:30 That's where I was proud of.
00:32 The bottom line was the points off turnovers and we were four for 21 for three.
00:37 Most of them came on the comeback late.
00:39 They weren't coming there.
00:40 So yeah, I hope I answered your question.
00:44 >> Yeah, no, so you're down one, 338 left.
00:48 Again, plenty of time at that point.
00:50 Now it's anybody's game.
00:51 What was your takeaway there?
00:53 >> We got out of the press, we started showing like we were in zone,
00:56 started going to man.
00:58 Again, we felt like Corns lay up the goal and we watched it.
01:03 And we called a baseline out of bounds, we're in the baseline out of bounds.
01:06 KB goes, we get the turnover, they get the turnover, they go down and score.
01:10 So there was a couple of those possessions.
01:13 Sommack's a great play, tries to drop off.
01:15 >> Yeah.
01:16 >> Still two.
01:18 We have one of our really good open three punchers right up and
01:22 gets the corner one.
01:24 >> Well, we kept fighting, kept playing, kept putting ourselves in position.
01:29 And then they started making some foul shots, which started,
01:32 you know, but it became four.
01:35 And then we missed it and it became seven.
01:36 Those were some of the best times.
