defensive earlier expected game gave happen hard time tough year
Oconomowoc gave us a hard time down there earlier in the year and we expected another tough game tonight. It was kind of surprising. But that's what can happen when we play with that kind of defensive intensity.
ball defense feeds great half lead looks open shot
What was great was that we had that lead after a half where I didn't feel we shot the ball very well. We had some open looks but weren't hitting. Typically, our defense feeds off our offense.
best boards good guys job lately nice player protecting
Those two guys really did a nice job on the boards and protecting the lane. Matt's been guarding their best player lately and we got good perimeter defense.
biggest final game kids played poorly quarter rest saw team three
I told the kids after the game that the team I saw play in the first quarter is the team we need to be the rest of the season. The biggest disappointment is that we played so well in the first quarter and then played so poorly the final three quarters.
good kid late middle number
It was a good shot. I thought we had a number of good shots. We had good opportunities late in the game, even inside, but that big kid in the middle was kind of on our mind.
excited game kids monday opportunity ready
We're ready to play that game tomorrow. The kids are excited about that opportunity Monday night.
against offense run standing
We know what to do against the zone. We just didn't execute. We were standing around and didn't run the offense very well.
behind defense entire game offense played
I thought we played well defensively the entire game but our offense was a little behind the defense in the first half.
almost instead lead lose lost played playing taking took
I think after we lost that lead it took a lot out of us emotionally. After taking that big lead, it's almost as if we played not to lose instead of playing to win.
