But we have a handful of excellent athletes (and) we’re very, very strong competitors. We pride ourselves on being able to outlast and outrun anyone. We knew if we kept pushing them for three quarters of the game, they weren’t going to be able to keep up. Their instructions were to run them into the dirt.” Echoes coach Ron Lundsten said “my two big guys (Huhn and Busse) petered out a bit on me at the end. They also had exceptional outside shooting. They don’t have an inside game and tonight, their outside game was really working for them.”
