I always try to be aggressive and get to the glass. Rebounding was a huge difference maker in the second half.

Jameel Warney
I had to make up in the second half for the minutes I didn't play in the first half. I felt like I contributed well in the second half.

Carson Puriefoy
I try to pick and choose my spots because my teammates do a great job of finding me. I was trying to be aggressive, but at the same time also getting my teammates involved in the action.
