best district felt home playing quarters run team three win
We felt like the (University of New Mexico) Lobos, we just can't win on the road. Were playing a little better at home right now. To run with the best team in the district for three quarters and then you look up and you're down by 18 points? Wow.
composure handle hands minutes offense run work
We'll do a lot of press-breaking work this week. We'll have to be able to handle 32 minutes of pressure, and to keep our composure and still run our offense with hands in our face.
came emotional five four game good last late practices since week win
We chipped away a little late in the game. We had four or five good practices since our last game a week ago (an emotional win over Bernalillo), but we came out lethargic and flat.
confidence huge minutes played win
This win could be a huge confidence builder. I really feel like we played 32 minutes tonight.
caught defense fire half hold second switched
We caught fire in the second half and were able to hold the lead. We switched to a man-to-man defense and we were very unselfish.
emotion emotions fire playing rest teams
We need to play with fire and emotion for 32 minutes. It's a letdown to have the rest of the teams playing while we're eliminated, and it's not acceptable.
earn found nights scrap seniors stepped three tonight win
We found a way to scrap and win ugly. Two nights ago we were on fire, but tonight we had to earn some points. Our three seniors really stepped it up when we had an off night shooting.
seem zone
I don't know what that was. Zone or man, it didn't seem to matter.
definitely fans fire high hopefully passion road support top
I feel we're definitely one of the top 16; hopefully we'll go at least as high as 14. If we get another game, I hope our fans can go on the road and support us, and we'll need to play with fire and passion for 32 minutes.
felt scoring threat
I felt Antonio was the scoring threat we needed.
offense slow steady
We wanted to slow them down, to get them out of their offense a little bit. We're not going to play 'lights out' for 32 minutes, but this was just a good, steady 3A win.
ball freeze gaps guys hard hate instead looking passing quarters three word
It's frustrating to play hard and play well for three quarters and then freeze up in the fourth. I hate to use the word 'choke,' but we really need some guys who can penetrate and find gaps instead of just passing the ball around the perimeter looking for a 3-pointer.
call seemed
It seemed like it was make-up call after make-up call. Man, just call the game.
defense face guard guys hard holding ourselves pressure work
We'll be doing a lot of press-breaking work this week. We'll be scrimmaging ourselves and holding each other accountable, and we may work on some defense because those guys will be hard to guard man-to-man. We'll have pressure in our face for 32 minutes.
