You know, we 66 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: came out there and you know we held them to 67 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: a few points, you know, going in and you know, 68 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: bent a little bit, but we didn't break and we 69 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: just got to continue that. We got to reduce the points. 70 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: You know, I know it wasn't as much as we 71 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 2: would like, but if they don't score, they don't win. 72 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: So we just got to do a better job defensively 73 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: and just continue to refine.
