games guy leader vocal yell
Marco has really come up big for us in our first two games and we need for that to continue, ... He's a leader. He's not a vocal guy that will yell a lot. He's more of a leader by example.
game hard intensity
It's their court, and if they're not going to play hard here, they're not going to play hard anywhere, so this game had all the intensity we expected.
defense game offense picks pumped rest
That really pumped us up. When our offense clicks, our defense picks up and the rest of our game picks up.
control game good kept
It's good ice, but fast. We had control of the game in the beginning. We should have kept the control.
achieve against duke football game goals good guys offered understand
I think they understand how important the game against Duke is if they want to achieve their goals, ... Duke is a very good football team, it's not like they offered any of our guys scholarships.
games helped kids played prior region understanding
All the games we played prior to region play really helped us out. Our kids are really understanding what we have to do. They know each other and what we can do on the floor.
firm game next sure until
We just wanted to make sure we were on the same page. We're still firm that they're not going to come back until they're ready. And they're not ready. We probably won't have them back in the next game or two.
basketball best game points win
We just had to make some points about it. We've got to play our best basketball to win Game 1.
battle defense fairly far games girls kept last lost match matches night offensive passing played row starting stay three tough weapons week
We lost a tough match last night but I still think we played fairly well. I have to give these girls credit, we have played three matches in a row this week and all three we have had to battle to stay in. We are starting to get our offensive weapons tuned in a little better but still have a long way to go. Our defense and passing abilities have kept us in games so far this season.
early game good held hitting job maintain needed plan shots talked
We had talked about being in the game right away. Their (Yorkville) plan was to get up early and try to maintain it, and they held on. I thought they did a good job hitting shots when they needed to.
ball eight games good record regret retiring season sticks won
We won 55 ball games in eight years, and that's a good record for anybody. My only regret - that 4-5 season sticks in my craw. I'm retiring as a coach, and I feel good about my retirement.
control games last sure three
We control our own destiny. I'm sure it'll come down to those last three games in Boston.
game guys huge last quit until
We're going out there fighting. Every game is huge for us right now. We're not going to quit until the last out is made. ... That's the kind of guys we've got on this team.
bad basics chance friendly game gone helped last memory ourselves overall playing response road seem win
The road wasn't too friendly to us the last time. I'm already getting a bad memory. Hopefully, we'll have a better response on the road overall than the last game and give ourselves a chance to win by playing our system. But we've gone back to some basics that seem to have helped us.
