murphy presents tough
Murphy presents a whole different challenge. It is going to be a tough sectional.
came expecting lose proud
I'm not disappointed with the effort, but I'm always disappointed when we get beat. We're a proud program, and we don't come in expecting to lose games. It was a loss, but it wasn't a defeat. We battled, but just came up a little short.
half played sustain
We did all right for the first half and played pretty well, but couldn't sustain it.
doubt hurt ours passing played strong time weakness
There's not doubt that hurt us, but we've had about that many turnovers each time we've played them. That's been a weakness of ours this year. Passing was just not one of our strong suits.
presents tough
Murphysboro presents a whole different challenge. It's going to be a very, very tough sectional.
basically knocking open people putting shots start step three
Basically people having putting two and three people on Lucas. So someone has to step up and start knocking down some shots for us. Once we do that, then things really open up.
lucas tired worked
Lucas worked so hard. We had him doing so much. He just tired a little bit. It's not his fault. He was working so hard.
defense five goes good points score season
Obviously, I would like us to play better offensively. Our defense was good all five games. We'd like to score more points and be more fluid, but I think that's something that can come as the season goes on.
draw good hard might offense player run runs
It's hard to have one without the other. If you don't get a good screen, or they don't set up the screen, you're probably not going to get a shot. When you don't have a player that's good enough to draw a double-team, you better run an offense that runs a lot of screens, or you might not get a shot.
hands steals transition
They get their hands on a lot of basketballs. They're going to get some steals and some transition buckets.
fourth game tremendous win
It was a tremendous game before. They had us down and we were able to come back in the fourth quarter. But to win this sectional, it's going to take two tremendous efforts.
basically guys knock lucas open second shots step three
They put three guys on Lucas so basically someone had to step up and knock some shots down for us. Once we did that we were able to get him open in the second half.
sports
In Nashville, they like their sports and they like their basketball, so if you're good, you're going to be pretty well known.
beat bring game guys helps
It helps to have guys you can bring into the game off the bench. I think (Murphysboro) got a little fatigued and we were able to beat them in overtime.
