ball basket case delaware gave player sam sent state strong took type
Sam is an offensive-type player who can make a play. So we sent him in just in case Delaware State gave him that opportunity. Sam is a championship type of player. He took the ball to the basket pretty strong and under control. And it was big for us -- obviously.
call michael might opponents playing sam skilled strongest williams
Sam is our strongest and most skilled player. With him and with the way Michael Williams is playing right now, we have what some of our opponents might call a two-headed monster.
entire flow michael seemed settled struggled team tough
Michael struggled early, as our entire team did. But once he settled down, he seemed to get into the flow of things better. We just didn't play tough enough as a team.
good michael player post quickness skill
Michael has established himself. His quickness and skill development make him as good a post player as there is in this league. He has the quickness, and he can also be over-powering.
build effort full power proud recent sustaining team
I am really proud of this team tonight. We had an outstanding effort for the full 40 minutes. In recent games, we've been having that sustaining power for only 34 or 35 minutes. So this is big for this team. We can build on this.
easy few liked seen
I would have liked to have seen us make a few more easy opportunities. If we had made some more, I'd be happier. You're not going to get a lot of easy opportunities, and when we got those we didn't capitalize. That was the big thing.
experience good great guys hope lead seniors
We just hope we have a good showing. You hope the seniors can go out and have fun, lead the other guys and not be in awe. But it will be a great experience for them.
bit energy gradually grind intensity knock team
We need to have a little bit of energy and more intensity than what we have. We were able to gradually grind it out. That's what we're going to have to do, because we don't have a heavyweight team that's going to knock you out.
basket defense luxury man offense score starts time
The offense and defense starts with Williams. It is a luxury to have a big man who can score around the basket and at the same time set up his teammates.
defensive gym hard percent shoot tells
It's hard to shoot 67 percent when you're in the gym by yourself. So that tells me we didn't play well on defense. We didn't show any defensive intensity.
buried graves together
They were all buried in different graves and now they're together with their buddies. They're my heroes.
found game guess lose pleased type
This is the type of game we have found a way to lose in the past. So I guess I'm pleased that we found a way to win.
decent defensive easy played
I thought we competed, I thought we played decent on the defensive end. Only when we scrambled did we give up a lot of easy opportunities.
hoping
I was waiting, hoping for the day this happened.
