free good hit job pleased throws
We hit some free throws at the end and did a good job defensively. We're pleased with what we're doing right now.
biggest bottom close concern couple gigantic good halftime hit hole hurry job knew line points quarters score shot stay tied
Bottom line is by halftime we were tied there and they hit a couple buckets right before half. They jumped on us in a hurry and that's the biggest concern with them. They come out and you look at what they do to teams, they have gigantic first quarters and have them in such a hole that they don't ever recover. But we did a good job of regrouping and responding. I knew if we'd get close there at the half we had a shot to stay with it. You can't give up (that many) points in the first half. That's not the kind of score we wanted.
ball chris free game good missing nice obviously throw
It was big for us. Chris had a real good ball game tonight. He's kind of been missing out of our offense. So it was nice to have him back in it. He was 12 for 14 from the free throw line. That obviously was a big push.
ball good happened job
It just so happened that we did a good job getting the ball down the floor. That comes from good rebounding.
coming feeling good helping somebody
It's a good feeling about coming down helping somebody and you're actually doing something.
ball care early force four good mode nine points start straight third three throw
We had chances. Even at nine points we come out and throw the ball away three or four straight times to start the third quarter. We just got into force mode a little early and when you don't take care of the basketball, nothing good is going to happen.
basketball bottom cut good line playing work
The bottom line is we're going to be playing onehopefully twovery good basketball teams. We're going to have our work cut out for us, regardless. A month-and-a-half ago, we were in the bottom of the barrel.
ball good intensity kept
Coaching-wise, it's good to see it happen. I thought we were executing. So if we kept the intensity up, and kept getting the ball down the floor, things were going to happen.
came fed found good hit huge plays second shots
Cody came out and made some outstanding plays and hit some huge shots for us. I think it fed from him. In the second half, we found (David). It was a good match-up for us.
hard keeping offensive time
We just had a hard time keeping them off the offensive boards.
free luck shot throws
Sometimes you have to have a little luck on your side, as well, especially the way we shot some free throws down the stretch.
climbed cut everybody hill quarter
At that point, everybody was focused. We climbed a hill and got back into the game. We cut it down to one quarter of basketball.
came normally
I thought in the first quarter, we came out and just didn't play well. We started doing things that we don't normally do.
break dig hard looked ourselves quarter successful tried
I don't think we were working very hard on defense. Offensively, we just looked out of 'sync. They're pretty successful one-on-one and they'll break you down off the dribble. That's not us and that's what we tried for a quarter and a half. Then we had to dig ourselves out of a hole.
