game lost maybe options team work
I had so many options on this team to work with. I said to myself so many times, if maybe I did this or that we could've won. We were in every game this season. The most we lost by was 5 points, and that was in overtime.
bat best cinderella course doubt easier game goal knew rock starts target team wear win
There's no doubt our goal was to make it back to Little Rock and to win state. But it's much easier to be the Cinderella team than to be the team with a target on your chest. Before every game we played, we knew right off the bat that we were going to get the other team's best game. Over the course of a 30-game season, that starts to wear on you.
against four match normally teams versatile
It's a different look. We normally don't play teams with four guards, but I'd like to think we're versatile enough to match up against it.
harder last teams
It will be a little harder this year. Teams didn't know a lot about us last year.
among four memphis seems state teams three top west
West Memphis is always among the top three or four teams in the state every year. It seems like they never have to rebuild.
both control guard hard knows needs physically point stay team
He's always under control, both physically and mentally. He just knows what he's doing and knows what needs to be done at all times. That's what you want from a point guard, because its hard for a team to stay under control when its point guard isn't.
anyone beating capable figure guys shut slow team tried
You look at the other team and try to figure out who's capable of beating you. Obviously, we're not going to shut anyone down, but we tried to slow those guys down.
counted defense free gave good hung kept lewis played playing stepped struggled sure throws tonight
I'm not sure we did anything well tonight but compete. We hung in there and kept playing and kept playing. We played good defense all night and never gave up. Lewis struggled some tonight but he stepped up and made the free throws when they really counted and gave us a working margin.
ended good heading lead leading rhythm second taking verge
We got out of rhythm in the second quarter. We had a pretty good lead and then all of sudden, it got away from us. They ended up leading by 6, and it was a 12- or 13-point swing. Heading into that second quarter, I thought we were on the verge of taking control.
anxious fans front games home kids
We've had 11 games away from home now. I know the kids are anxious to play in front of their home fans finally.
blocking great job scholars-and-scholarship
We did a great job on the glass, blocking out and going to get the ball.
brad floor good last quarter
Brad was very solid. He was on the floor for the last quarter and half. He did some good things offensively and defensively and got on the boards.
best night seems shooting wrong
I've been told that if we get them on the wrong night, and they are shooting well, then we'll get their best shot. It seems like we always get everybody's best shot.
came cinderella fate life nice roses side tonight
It would be nice if everything always came up roses in life and you were the Cinderella story all the time, but sometimes you're on the other side of the coin. It's our fate tonight to be in that role.
