We got better tonight, head coach Kim McNeill said. It wasn t pretty for 40 minutes, but I really saw us focus on some of the things we ve been working on the last couple of weeks especially the last few days. Executing our offense. Running all the way through our stuff and creating easy opportunities for each other. We did a really good job of that tonight. We had some people step up and hit some big shots.
