crack energy found gave good great knack lift run second
We found a way to crack them with that big run before half. That gave us a good lift and we had great energy to come out in the second half. Pete has a real good feel for the game. He has a knack of where to be.
against bad game good teams
Not many teams as young as we are against a team as good as Stout is going to get back in the game like we did. We were right there and then we had some bad breaks.
finding good guy guys hot love rhythm seems simple teams trust
I love how these guys trust each other. We get into a good rhythm of finding the guy with the hot hand. It seems simple but a lot of teams don't do it.
believe five floor good heart shooting
That's who we are, a very good shooting team. We have five (starters) on the floor who can all make a big shot. They have a lot of heart and a lot of character. They believe in themselves, and we believe in them.

We had a very solid performance, especially as good as River Falls has been playing lately. A 14-point win on the road is nice to see.

Overall, I don't know if we hold any secret answers over Stout. I don't think they have any doubts or fears playing us.

Matt epitomized a team player. He gives everything and asks for nothing. Now he's helping this team try to win a championship. He made some clutch shots.

I think they imposed their will on us. They made tough shots and big shots and executed. They knocked us on our heels and they got us to go out of character.
competition execution guys level overall please
I was overall please with our effort. I told the guys I wanted championship level competitiveness and execution.
against beat care guys second shoot shot stops
Our guys know they can beat them. We have to do the things we've done well against them. We have to take care of the ball, shoot well and get second shot opportunities. And we're going to need to get some big stops on defense.
cheap difficult fed guys knew magical played sure
We got off to a real difficult start. I thought we played a little tentative and that fed into them. We knew we could come back. I didn't have to come up with any magical words. I just had to make sure the guys knew it wasn't just cheap talk.
discipline game help learn remember revert talk toughness
We'll learn from this. This will really help us. When we talk about this, and discipline and toughness and being who we are, they'll understand. We'll revert back to this game and they'll remember and this will help them down the stretch.
fight grit guys love quit taught year
I love this team. There has been a lot of grit and fight in these guys all season. These guys made my first year so special. They had no quit and taught me so much about resiliency.
certain feeling guys hoped sure talked
I'm sure our guys are feeling like we had them down there (Feb. 15). We've talked about that and I'm certain our guys hoped they could play Platteville again. And I'm sure Platteville would want to play us again.
