anybody ask bigger run team
It's outstanding what they have accomplished this season. We run out there and we're not bigger than anybody we play, but they play as a team and have fun. As a coach, you can't ask for any more.
bad ethic fun hard kids losing paid says tells work worked
We really put in a work ethic that season. Sometimes I feel bad that we worked them so hard, but it has paid off in the long run. And that tells you what kind of kids we have. It's not fun when you're losing, but to work that hard when you're losing says something about all of those kids.
happy zone
I was really happy with our defense. I thought our zone got us back into it.
bench
I think our bench play was the difference.
knock ready remember season shoes
We have to come ready because you can make somebody's season if they knock off a first-place team. The shoes on the other foot. We remember that we've been on the other side.
solution tried
We tried everything we had and they had a solution to everything we had.
bunch kids living
That's where we make our living -- going to the basket. We have a bunch of kids that don't back down.
check clutch head open rebound shot turned
Jordan's a good, clutch player. The shot went up and I turned my head to check on rebound position. That's how we play. If you have an open shot, take it.
bench felt fifth hyde kept looking picked players
Nathan Hyde was doing what all-Ohio players do. I kept looking at the clock. I felt better when Hyde picked up his fifth foul. I felt better with him on the bench to finish.
difference free played shoot throws zone
They just played a zone and we didn't shoot well from the outside. That was the difference in the game. We didn't shoot well and they made free throws (12-of-19) down the stretch.
catch press
You can't press to catch up. They're too smart.
