played shots
We played hard, but we couldn't make the big shots tonight.
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.
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.
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).
excuse liked playing practice tuesday
I would have liked to play Tuesday night; it won't be an excuse. When you're playing well, you want to play more and practice less.
constant great teams
We have to play great defense. I think the constant with all teams is how well they can defend.
chance players quick
We never had a chance tonight. I told our players that we didn't know how quick they were.
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.
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.
