anybody believe conference feels hard moving proud road
It feels real good, to own it all by yourself. Before the season, if anybody said someone's going 9-0 in the conference it would be hard to believe that. So I'm real proud of our kids, and now we've just got to keep moving on. There are better things down the road after this.
austin definitely looks robert scoring
Robert did the scoring the first quarter, all of it, I think. Then we had to get Austin some looks and he was definitely in the flow.
ask asked good improve quicker release running until worked
That's the thing with Robert, if you ask him to do something, he does it until he's good at it. We asked him to get quicker and he worked all summer. We asked him to quicken his release and he worked all summer. We're running out of things for him to improve on.
create finish good needed offense played
We needed to create more offense through our defense. I thought we played good defense, we just didn't finish when we needed to.
hard kids miss noticed played rubs says summer team works
It's his leadership. He works so hard that it rubs off on everyone. He played AAU all summer and didn't miss any of our team stuff. That says a lot about him right there. And all of our kids noticed that.
kept slow spreading striking within
Slow but sure, we kept spreading it out, and we never were going to let them come back within striking distance.
five last scenario three worried
As a coach, you never want it to be real close, but I was kind of worried about how we were going to react. Because we've never been in this scenario before, and they've been there three of the last five years.
catch guys pressure tried
We tried to put pressure on their shooters so they couldn't make that (entry) pass. We had the other guys sagging off and making them back up to catch it.
benny defense excellent executing felt good great halftime hitting job kids ours playing second three
We felt real good where we were at halftime being up by three with Benny hitting that shot. The second half has been ours all year. The kids have done an excellent job of executing and playing great defense in the second half.
against extremely good guards looking seeing seen
They have a lot of guards and good guard play and they're quick. It's pretty much the same thing as us. I've seen them play once against GCMS. I know Steffen is extremely good. Looking at CPCI is like seeing us.
chance kept quarter season team wife
I told my wife about a quarter of the way through the season that I thought this team had a chance to be special. Everyone kept overlooking us and we just kept winning.
bigger floor spread time
They are a little different from Carlyle. They are a little bigger and they spread the floor more with their big guys. We'll make some adjustments, but at this time of year, you just do what you do.
guard kept knew lead
As long as we kept the lead and made them have to guard us, we knew we were quicker.
came early game happy played tough
The thing I'm happy about is that he bounced back from that early game. It was a tough game for him, and he came back and played very, very well.
