Coach Gabel had these comments: “Our half court press was great in this game. We were able to apply pressure and get some key steals leading us to extend and keep our lead. Again, with a thin bench we wanted to control the tempo and slow things down and execute in the half court. We did just that both offensively and defensively.”
