andy difference energy fine great keeping muhammad strategy tried white
They tried White on Hatcher, and that would have been fine if it was just about keeping Hatcher from scoring. What Muhammad did, he made him use all the energy in the world and now you have Downey off the ball. I thought that was a big difference in the game, great strategy by Andy Kennedy.
great position ran
They ran a great play and we were out of position and couldn't get the rebound.
advantage although certainly december early february five game games help home league letting pick road strength team three traveling treated wins
Although we are on the road for much of November, December and part of January, if we can pick up some early road wins it will certainly help to have home-court advantage down the stretch, especially having five league games at home and traveling for just three in February and March. With the strength of every team in our league, there is no letting down and every game has to be treated with a championship effort.
meant
That's Muhammad. I see what he meant now, because he always goes.
The most important part is how we play (today). (Tonight), I'll tell you.
average ball game shoot turn win
They shoot well and don't turn the ball over, and that's why they can get out-rebounded by an average of 5.8 a game and still win 20 games.
They should know what we're going to do, and we should know what they're going to do.
fatter great taking
I think it's a great thing. They keep taking and taking and taking from P.E. and you can see it in our kids, they're getting fatter and fatter and fatter.
decent gets guys hurt moves offensive scores
I think it hurt us on the offensive end a lot. He not only scores for us, he's one of those guys that's always active. He's always doing something. He's a decent passer; he really moves and gets things going.
achievement close great second
This was a great accomplishment for the seniors, to go out with a win. They're second to Kent, and it's a close second.
basketball great kid might team terms
Let me say this about him. He might be the most intelligent kid on the team in terms of basketball. He's got great basketball sense. He's got a great basketball IQ.
bad bench bigger certainly destroyed east guard muhammad option pressure realize takes teams time
I realize Big East teams will be bigger at the guard position, but you can play those two at the same time because Muhammad is like a 2-guard anyway. If you have him and Downey in there, it takes some pressure off Downey. That's not a bad option off the bench - it certainly destroyed us.
balanced gave nice time
Any time you get 18 assists, you're going to get balanced scoring. That gave us some nice baskets. Hopefully, it will give us some confidence.
both call energy enthusiasm key time whatever
At this time of the year, it comes down to energy or enthusiasm or whatever you want to call it. That's the key for both teams.
