hurt knew traps
We knew what we were up against, but you still have to play. We wanted to make it a half-court game, but where they hurt you is with their traps and steals.
effort kick laid played proud resemble score similar situations tonight year
The score doesn't resemble our effort. I'm proud of our effort. In similar situations this year we've laid down and let them kick us. Tonight we didn't do that. We played together, and I feel with our effort tonight we could do well.
ball effective five glass half individual inside issue rebound team
The whole issue of the first half was their second-chance opportunities. We just as a team did not rebound the ball real well. It's not just one individual or just the inside play. For us to be effective on the glass we've got to do all five guys.
exactly last
On the last play, we did exactly what we wanted to do.
appreciate ball best few guards hit jason outside
Jason does what Jason does. Jason can hit a few outside shots, and he can take the ball to the basket. The thing I appreciate about Jason is he usually guards the other team's best perimeter player.
against coming gradually kids longer loss morale period played positive
Our kids have gradually played a little better. Our kids are coming off a disappointing loss against Bloomington. The positive thing is we played well for longer period of time. The disappointing thing is it's a loss. There are no morale victories.
ball half
The first half we did a lot of things right, and the ball went in the hole.
free missed ourselves position
The little things, it's an accumulation of the little things. We do the things to put ourselves in position to win, but then it's a turnover, or a missed rebound, or a missed free throw.
