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.
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.
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.
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.
close hungry looks seniors trying
The thing I'm trying to do is get him to close it out real good. You always want your seniors to want to play and still be hungry, and he looks like he's more hungry now than he's ever been.
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.
constant great teams
We have to play great defense. I think the constant with all teams is how well they can defend.
bounce came concerned guys hoping loss played winning
I was more concerned with winning this game, hoping our guys could bounce back, than I was with any jinx. I was more concerned with how we came out and played after that loss to Kent (State).
played shots
We played hard, but we couldn't make the big shots tonight.
chance players quick
We never had a chance tonight. I told our players that we didn't know how quick they were.
distract early guys
We told our guys early on that we're going to play or we ain't going to play. You can't let things like that distract you.
