What sparked it first. It was our defense. I think we really ratcheted up our pressure. We were physical, we got every rebound and I think that defense is always how you start runs because in order to build a lead, you, you can't be trained in baskets. So we guarded really well towards the end of the half, got out in transition, got some easy ones and built a little bit of a lead and hold on to it when you, when you guys play at a level like this, how much, how much fun is it because you guys having a great time out there? Yeah, it's super fun. I mean, we, we love playing together always in the close ones in the, in the not so close ones tonight was fun and we want to have more fun tomorrow. You guys just, what was the key? I think just being physical. I mean, we've got a lot of guys who are talented rebounders. Um But at the end of the day, it just comes down to crashing the glass actually putting in the effort and going and then just being physical, we got a lot of defensive and a lot of offensive boards, sitting around watching and waiting for this game, how hard it was watching the team play and you guys weren't playing. We were just preparing and we've been preparing. We didn't know who we were playing until yesterday, which obviously is a little tricky. But once we found out we in on our personnel and our scout and we're ready, we're ready to play tonight and we're going to go home and take care of our bodies and come ready to play tomorrow. I was, I was, I was happy to see a couple go down. It's like they're long and athletic. It's sometimes hard to get good looks against them. I think getting out in transition helped us and we knocked out some shots.
