anyone beat defense defensive good great help job knew overall
We weren't going to let anyone else beat us. We knew Tisdale was going to get (his points). He's a very good player. ... I thought we did a great job of help defense and overall did just a great job on the defensive end.
basketball commend following great heck holiday job kids people prepared ready section senior since student support
Our student section and our support have been great. Ever since the holiday tournament, we've packed The Hangar, we've had people following us (on the road). ... They've done a great job. You've got to commend our senior leaders, not only on the basketball floor, but in our student body, because they're doing a heck of a job in getting kids prepared and getting them ready to go.
came foul great half hurt job match matt minutes quarter second taking talk third three trouble
I thought Pinckneyville came out and did a great job in the third quarter of taking away what we wanted to do. We always talk about the first three minutes of the second half is the most important part of the game. I just think we didn't match their intensity. ... And, I think Matt (Buren) getting in foul trouble in the third quarter really hurt us.
against came finding job people shots
He came out and made some shots against us. We've got to do a better job of guarding and a better job of finding people and we didn't do that tonight.
ball continues finds gets goes great job kid might nice nose offensive type
He continues to get better every game. He's the type of kid that you look at him and you might not know what he can do. Then he'll come out there and make a great move. He's kind of an old-school type of player. He's nothing flashy. He just goes out there and gets the job done. On offensive rebounds, he's got a real nose for the ball and he finds it. He just does a nice job for us.
care situation
It's still a situation where we have something to take care of. We're going to try and do that.
bit
It was a bit of a disappointment. We thought we could come away with a victory. It was close, though.
belief believe finish four games hopefully kids ton
We've got about four more games to finish that. I really think our kids believe and if you've got the belief and you've got the confidence, you're going to finish the job. We've got a ton of talent. Hopefully we can just finish the job.
best deal effort foot guards hard kid matt mike seven team total
Defensively, I thought that was our best effort all year. When you deal with a kid like Mike Tisdale who's seven foot and can do a lot of different things, you need a total team effort. I thought our guards really got after it and we made it hard to get it into Mike. And when we did that, Matt (Buren) was there to at least contain.
came coach finished kids needed respect
You've got to respect Nauvoo. They came out and didn't back down. Coach Pinkston had them ready. But our kids came out and really finished what they needed to finish.
center effort innovative larger project solar symbolizes undertaken white
The solar panels are a technically innovative project that symbolizes a much larger effort undertaken in the White Center community.
bit run shots switch
Nauvoo's going to sag probably a little bit on us or run a little match-up or switch a lot. We're going to have to come out and make shots (today).
almost ball felt looked maybe normally pressure recognize running situation threw trying
It's a situation where they felt the pressure on them and they did some things that they don't normally do. We threw the ball away and we were just running around trying to recognize what (the Vikings) were in (defensively). It almost looked like they were very unprepared. Maybe we were a little bit.
advantage home playing situation
It's a situation where I think we can be successful, but they are playing on their home floor. ... I think that will be an advantage to them. We'll just have to come out and play well. We just have to keep on doing what we're doing.
