came effort game good nice slow team tied
It was just a slow, slow paced game. We were down 20-14 there and came back and tied it up at the end of the half. It was a good team effort and a nice win.
both hustled luckily matter played run stretch teams
It's a win. But, as expected, both teams played hard, both teams hustled and luckily we had that run at the end that was the difference. It was a matter of we got more down the stretch than they did.
both coached effort exciting hearts played rivalry suppose teams total
Both teams played their hearts out. That's the way a rivalry is suppose to be played. It was a total team effort and one of the most exciting I've ever coached in.
consider might press ready threw throwing tonight worked
It was just a little adjustment. We threw something at them that they were throwing at us to see if they were ready for it. We don't press much, but I think our press, we might have to consider it. It worked tonight pretty well.
coming games good sign tough
That's a good sign for us. It's coming together. I know we have some tough games to come but after a 10-day layoff, this was a good start.
again game looking press throw
We just never recovered. They make you play that game because they come out and full-court press you the whole time. That's what I'm looking for again Saturday. We know they're going to throw that at us.
course guys helps outlet
We scored a lot in transition. Of course it helps when you have guys 6-7, 6-8 making the outlet pass. We had some big baskets out of transition.
district next ready round shot
This was the one I wanted. I want the district championship but I wanted to get to the round where you know you have a shot to get to the next round. They're excited. After the game, they were asking, 'When's the next game?' They're ready to play.
defense helped imagine league size stop thrown
Our size has helped us a lot. Our league has thrown every defense you can imagine to try and stop our height.
coming guys playing trade yell
I wouldn't trade any one of those guys for anything. They play with a lot of heart. I yell at them and they still keep coming back and playing hard. It's been a lot of fun.
ball beat floyd guard inside last point
We need to make them beat us with the long ball. We can't let (Bishop Guilfoyle point guard Sean) McConnell penetrate as much as he did in the last game. He was able to get inside and get the ball to (Kevin) Floyd and Meyers.
control couple definitely player players successful
We definitely have to control O'Connor and we've been successful at controlling just one player but they have a couple other players who can shoot.
die eight fighting matching points second shots somebody theory third
I like us matching up with 3-point shooters. My theory is if you're going to live by it, you're going to die by it. How many times do you see somebody make more than eight or 10 in a game. If they make eight, that's 24 points and if they don't get second or third shots off of them, they're fighting to get 40 points on us with our size.
care key loosen pass people second seeing
I just told them to loosen up and pass the ball, take care of it. That was the key to the second half. In transition, we were seeing the right people on the floor.
