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.
five handle match people starting top
We're a team, right now, that can't handle when people are out. I think our starting five would be pretty doggone good. I don't know if our top 10 or 11 would match up with other teams.
hitting kids lane matter shoot time
They would get in the lane and pitch. Those kids can shoot that every day of the week, so it was a matter of time before they started hitting shots.
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.
again mad means
That means they're going to be mad and we don't want to see them again this year.
defended stopped
We just stopped competing. They made a run; they defended us real good.
against cut earn
We have to cut our turnovers down and make them earn their baskets against our half-court defense.
best played struggling team wonder
We're going to Akron, which is the best team in our league. The way we played tonight, I really wonder when are we going to find it ... Everybody's struggling now.
coming guys
We've got a lot of guys coming back, but they've got to get better.
forget four last
We need to forget about the last four games.
bowling came fight green played waiting
Bowling Green has always been a nemesis for us and they have a lot of fight in them. We came out and I thought we played well. And I'll take it. I know the Falcons will be waiting for us when we go up there.
fine hard team until
Everything was fine until he showed up. He's good, and they're all good. They're a hard team to play, but we really need to play them well.
anybody good mileage minutes next ok played replace team took
We should be OK next year, but we have to replace Hatcher; that's going to be the key. He took a team that wasn't very good and made them good. I never got so much mileage out of a guy. He probably played more minutes than anybody in the league.
