bring game plan regular teams
Basically, our game plan was to come out and be very aggressive. In the regular season...we let teams bring it to us, so we wanted to come out and bring it to the other team for once. We were just in a rhythm, and we got it going.
carolina chance excited game north road
It's going to be a big game, obviously. It's going to be a road game for us. There will be a lot of North Carolina fans, but I'm very excited to get a chance to play in a semifinal game.
blocked country excellent finished games good great kid leads league shooting size three watched
We've watched three of their games on film. They play in a very good league and finished second. Their 6-foot-9 kid (Ronald Wright) leads the country in blocked shots. They have great size and they're an excellent shooting team.
ended funny game north points third three won
It is kind of funny. We started 0-3 in the ACC, we ended up the No. 3 seed, we're 3-0 in North Carolina, we won this game by three points and now we're in our third game.
game plan rhythm
Our game plan was to come out and be aggressive. We were just in a rhythm and got it going.
assert game knew patient second
I just knew that I've got to be a little more patient and it will come. In the second half, I wanted to assert myself. We want to make a statement. Going 0-3, every game now is important for us.
above against fired game gave goal kept played points score second state team
In the first game against Holton, we played with them, but we didn't play as well as we could have. In the second game, we were down by 10, and I gave them the goal to score 20 points before Holton scored 25 and we got to 23-21. It kept us fired up, because it showed us what we could do when we played the No. 1 team in the state in the classification above us.
dad games youth
I grew up playing games, and I remember Christmas 1981 when my dad got us an Intellivision, and we all sat around and played 'Astrosmash' for hours on end. It was a big part of my youth.
games voice effort
All those "getting hit/losing rings" sounds tend to be recorded toward the end of a recording session. Depending on the type of game, those efforts and screams can be pretty rough on the voice, so they usually like to record them at the end. You might do hundreds of versions of vocal sounds for a game and you can come out a little hoarse afterward.
boring couple feet naps rest stayed took watched
We just stayed off our feet and took a couple of naps here and there. And we watched film a little bit. It's very long and boring but you just have to rest up.
afraid course dreadful everybody official pulled talk terribly
The story was that in her recovery, she pulled out her back by favoring her foot. That was the official story. But of course she had had this dreadful breast cancer, and everybody was terribly afraid it had metastasized to her back, but she wouldn't talk to us about it.
ball floor pass plays score tempo transition
The tempo was right where we wanted it. We were able to pass the ball up the floor and score in transition and that plays to our strength.
calling cow herd mad
is like the mad cow calling the herd rabid.
