factor great impressed likes tremendous
More than anything, I'm impressed with Rayfield. He's a tremendous player. Not only is he a great shooter, I think he relishes the big shots. He likes to take them and he likes to be a factor in big games.
last seem surgery year
Things seem to be going very well. He had his surgery last year and everything I know is just fine.
best defensive good great helps offensive player players
The thing about Isaiah is that he's not only a good offensive player, but he can really be a great defensive player at times too and really helps us out with rebounding. When he does all that he's one of the best players around.
bad executing game hit hitting hoping indicator runs scoring shots system teams though
Sometimes scoring can be a bad indicator with the way you are playing. In the game of basketball, teams make runs and you hit shots in bunches. Though we got down early, in our system we were executing it pretty well. We were just hoping they weren't going to be keep hitting the shots they were.
defense gives good great hit inside stepped teams
That's what a lot of teams do. We have good inside players. They try to take it away. When they do, we have to take what the defense gives us. They stepped up and hit some great shots.
attack ball bit defense denial good happy kids lay pressure time
I was real happy with our defense. We gambled a little bit more than I liked. I think our ball pressure and denial defense was pretty good especially this time of the year. I told the kids to go out, attack the boards, and lay it all on the line.
ball change game inside itself lends offense sure
We aren't going to change a whole lot. Our offense lends itself to getting the ball inside so it's something we try to do every game so I'm sure we'll do the same on Thursday.
few fine focus run system today tune wheel
What we want to do is what we've done all year. We aren't going to re-invent the wheel with one day of practice. So we'll focus on what we do today and fine tune a few things. We just want to run our system as well as we can.
proud team
I am so proud of this team. The thing about this team is they don't want to let one another down. They play for each other.
combat emotional inside mental stress test
(Catholic Central) can test you in a lot of ways. They have an inside game, they have height, and the adjustments we had to make to combat those things put emotional and mental stress on us.
beat low motion run sets
I wouldn't say they run any set offense. It's a lot of different things. If they get in transition, they try to beat you down the court. They run some 1-4 low sets on offense, they run some high-lows. Other than that it's pretty much a motion offense.
concern face last love peter quality year younger
Peter is just a quality kid. You can see there is a lot of love for his brother. You could see it last year in his face with the concern he had and still does for his younger brother.
fine focused games guys last played ready tune
One thing I want us to do is be fresh, because we've played a lot of games in the last month-in-a-half. I want our guys to be focused and ready to go and fine tune some things.
fun guys hard hit huge loves shots stepped third
It's going to be hard to keep him off the court. He loves to play the game. He stepped up and started to hit some huge shots in the third quarter. All our guys love to compete. That's why it's so fun to be together.
