affect kids offense proud team tend
One thing I'm really proud of with this team is that our kids don't let their offense affect the way they play defense. Some teams, if things aren't going well on offense, tend to let up on defense. But we don't, and you could see that today.
call carry former hand kids opportunity people players proud
We're very proud of our tradition. I had 20 to 30 former players call encouraging us to carry on the torch. I let our kids know the opportunity at hand to make so many people proud.

I think our pressure wore on them. We tried to put pressure on the perimeter and make it tough to get it to (Johnson). Then we fronted him and came with a double-team.
defense doubt offense sells wins
No doubt offense sells the tickets, but defense wins the championships.
adjustment defensive exactly great needed offense proud recognized second start thomas
St. Thomas made a great adjustment in the spacing of their offense at the start of the second half. But I was really proud of our kids, because they recognized what was happening, and they made exactly the defensive adjustments they needed to make.
