That was huge. We were in a zone and he brought them back. He was three or four feet behind the line and he buried them.

We felt good going into the fourth quarter. That's (down 42-37) where we wanted it to be. We did not want this game to get in the 70s.

You get forced to take chances when you're down six, eight with four minutes to go.
beat defense field fourth free goals knows pair pat team zone
They had only two field goals (a pair of three-pointers out of East's zone defense from Pat Cummings) in the fourth quarter. They had 21 free throws. That's what beat us. That's where we got beat. Our team knows it.
defense far feed takes
We're going to go as far as our defense takes us. They don't want to let each other down and just feed off each other.

We've always been able to score. We've got to more defensive-minded. We've got to develop that mean streak.

We let their two leading scorers get off. They're both great players. That's why they got to the Sweet 16 last year.

against guys inside last mike touches
Mike had 20 (points) against these guys last time. When he's in the game, we want to go inside and get him as many touches (as we can).
challenged except interior positive step stride
I think we made a positive stride in how we played. We challenged every pass. If we make some of those interior shots, things go the other way. It was a step in the right direction, except for the fouling. We know that.
basket breaking felt foul huge key next point
We were up one and we got a rebound. But they got a key steal, basket and foul shot. That was a huge turnaround. Then, they got another three-point play and next thing you know, we're down five. We felt that was the breaking point of the game.
balanced coming guys shots six
It's been balanced all year. We've got six guys with over 200 shots (attempted). They're coming from every which way.
extremely hard proud
I'm extremely proud of our effort. I think that's as hard as we've ever played.
