felt fourth game good
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.
best games great high school teams year
It was one of best games of the year. I think it was one of the best high school games of the year -- two great teams going at it.
ball closed game needed turn
They got it down to four, but we closed out the game well. We didn't turn the ball over, we did all the things needed to win.
advantage ball double game plan size week
The game plan all week was to get the ball inside. We have more size than them, so we wanted to take advantage of that. If they wanted to double (team), then we'd look for our shooters on the outside.
feeling five good last teams walking year
We got 16th place last year and we weren't walking out of there feeling too good about ourselves. Last year, there were five top-25 teams there. This year, we're all about the same.

You get forced to take chances when you're down six, eight with four minutes to go.

Every three was a dagger. There was no way we could respond to that. He was Superman tonight.
flat great played second team
We had a great second half. We're a senior-dominated team and we need to play like seniors. In that first half, we just didn't play like seniors. We weren't flat -- we played scared.
basketball best moment playing truth
We're playing our best basketball right now. But the moment of truth is the playoffs.
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.
behind brought buried feet four line three zone
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.
state ultimate win
I want to win the state championship. That's the ultimate goal.
came kids positive won
I can't say anything but positive things about these kids. They could have had a letdown. Streamwood hasn't won a game, but we came out and we were the aggressors.
guards open point shoot worked
He never had it, but he's really worked on it. We told him, all of our point guards can shoot. If it's an open look, we want him to shoot it.
