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.
defense floor good knock looked looks open opposite ran rhythm shots took
I thought we got a lot of good looks on offense. We ran the floor well. We looked opposite and that got the defense moving. We took a lot of open shots in rhythm and more times than not, you're going to knock them down.
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.
breaks came good guys heart jackson jump love maybe roaring seat seemed stopped teams
Our guys are tough. They got a lot of heart. I love the way we play. We didn't give up. We came roaring back and I thought we were maybe going to jump in the driver's seat for a minute. Jackson stopped that. Tonight, it just seemed like the breaks went their way, but good teams make their breaks and they made some tonight. They put it on us.
anybody boys coached good hopefully looked prepares tournament
We're going to have to play better than we did tonight. Jackson, they looked probably better than anybody in the tournament out there tonight. I coached under (Jackson coach) Darrin (Scott) at Notre Dame. I know how good of a coach he is, how well he prepares and so hopefully my boys can outplay his boys. That's what it's going to come down to.
ball came couple good knocked looks shot
We came out and shot the ball like we can. We've done it a couple of times this year, but I thought we had a lot of good looks and we knocked a lot of them down tonight.
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.
anytime forcing good jump puts seem
Anytime you can come out and jump on somebody, that kind of puts you in the driver's seat. You're looser, you're not as tight, you're not forcing things as much. When we jump out on that lead, we seem to play pretty good with that.
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.
best toward
I thought we executed best toward the end. We executed well down the stretch.
ball came guarded looked played push successful
I thought we came out and played hard; we guarded well and got the ball down the floor. We really looked to push the ball a lot more, and I thought we were successful in doing that.
