We talked about making the mental errors before the game, so I thought they would be prepared. It worked out okay though.” Usher guard Kelly Kuz said “in the first half, everybody had butterflies. But we calmed down as the game went on. We really wanted this game. We started to get a little excited in the second half and started making mistakes. Maybe we were looking a little ahead.”
