capable game gear great hope lose team tonight tough
That's a tough one. You lose a tough game like we do tonight and you got to gear back up and play a great team like Charleston. I hope we're capable of that.
carried doubt game hit jeff needed played rebounds shots won
Jeff won the game for us tonight, I don't think there's any doubt about that. Jeff played great. He carried us. He hit the big shots when we needed it. He got the big rebounds when we needed them.
entire few game good guys instead learn minutes win
Our guys have to learn how to play well for an entire game instead of a few minutes here and a few minutes there. Luckily, we were able to play good enough just long enough to win today.
came defensive game huge introduced job learner offensive park phenomenal quick speaks strides stuff team time volumes year
He made huge strides this year. His footwork came a long way. His sense of a team game came a long way. You can play in the park all day long and not think about defensive positioning or offensive spacing. All that stuff was introduced to Will for the first time this year and I thought he did a phenomenal job of grasping those concepts. He's quick learner and that really speaks volumes for him.
affected games hurt played turned year
He's a stud. One of the first games of the year he hurt his thumb, but played through it. That affected his shot, but he's turned it up.
against ask coach dominant game plan played player says
He is the most dominant player in the area. Ask any coach that played against us how much they had to game plan against him. Any coach that says he doesn't want him is a liar.
barely game good guess last played
We played pretty well in spurts. It was a game of spurts, and I guess our last spurt was just barely good enough to win.
best came credit exactly extremely game great played sign
I want to give Verona credit, they came out and played extremely well. I think that's a sign of what a great team's about. We weren't exactly on our game and they played their best game, and we still came away with a 10-point win.
games
This is probably one of the most talked-about games around that I can remember.
advance against good job points rebounds scoring
We've got to come out here and play our butts off (against Puxico). We can't give up rebounds like we did tonight. We can't give up as many points as we did tonight. I thought Advance did a good job of scoring a lot of points. They got a lot of rebounds against us. We're going to have to play our A game.
night stay took tried
We tried to stay with him all night. I thought every 3-pointer they took was contested.
couple missed turned
We turned it over a couple times when we shouldn't have, and we missed some shots.
far flow half strength
We didn't have the flow we wanted the first half as far as getting up the floor, that's a strength of our team. But we still persevered.
edge
Our rebounding was a big edge in this game.
