great hanging heads hopefully kids learn level state teams
You can't do that at the state level and hopefully our kids will learn that. We are not hanging our heads and the kids had a great year. We went 31-3 and not many teams can say that.
competition difference east level playing tournament york
It's similar, because the level of competition is there. It's going to be very intense, but the Big East tournament in New York is a very big deal. The only difference is you're playing different teams.
basketball continue dug hole hopefully level mix ourselves question
We're just at .500, so there's a lot more basketball to play. Hopefully we'll continue to play at the level we need to. There's no question we dug ourselves a hole and it's not like we're really out of the hole, but at least we're in the mix a little bit.
against chances competition days expect four increases level straight three
It increases our chances of succeeding. To play four straight days against this level of competition and expect to win, I think, is impossible. To do it three straight days is tough.
battle hard level mistake nobody players settle soccer throw wants window
You pretty much have to throw pretty soccer out the window at this level any way. Nobody wants to make a mistake and the players are a little nervous. It's hard to settle in. We're going to have to battle for 80 minutes.
defend far game hoped level percentage raised shooting talk
He raised his game to another level as far as his shooting was concerned. We didn't defend him as well as we hoped to, because we talk about shooting percentage and his shooting percentage was pretty good. But again, it was a big game and he responded.
both competition difference fairly focus goes level location time
The level of competition is fairly equal. I think there is a lot of credibility that goes with both tournaments. For us, the location is what the difference is, but now is the time where you just focus on what's going on on the floor.
stayed tried trouble
We just stayed out of trouble all day and tried to keep the fenders on that thing. We were right there in the top-10. That was just Skinner luck.
ball drive patient settle strength
We weren't patient enough. We settled. There were some opportunities on the perimeter, but you don't have to settle for the shot. You can still drive the ball to the basket. That's the strength of our club.
flat game good lead played
We went flat and started coasting after the 7-1 lead after two innings. But I thought we played pretty good for the first game of the season.
change defense
We try to change it up, the way we play defense during the game.
challenge expected good great proved
We expected them to give us a good game. I thought this would be a great challenge for us, and that proved to be correct.
disturbed league opponent quite ready respect respond
We're disturbed by that. You want to go out and respect the opponent and respond to that. We didn't take it as a challenge. We just went with the flow. Quite honestly, the game's over. We have to get ready for league play.
fire flow zone
It was the recognition in our zone offense. It comes in the flow of the game. It's not like we want to come down and fire up threes.
