ball came early finding half missed moving second taking
Early on we were taking too many missed 3-pointers. We just came out in the second half and were better at moving the ball around and finding our shot.
against game good poorly rebound shot
Against a No. 1 seed, you've got to get off to a good start, and we did that. But (Hampshire) kind of got with their game and slowed it down on us. We shot poorly and couldn't rebound against their size.
break gets helps huge oh
Oh my goodness, (Harper) was huge tonight. He's real strong, and when he gets on the board, he really helps us get the break going.
basket blocked count seemed
It seemed like they blocked about 15 shots. We count on (Wesley) Harper and (Jonathan) Boyd to get to the basket on people, and they just couldn't get to the basket tonight.
might second team win
Their second team might be able to win this tournament.
games shoot time
That's kind of been our bug-a-boo all year. We have games where we just don't shoot it well, and this was an unfortunate time to not shoot it well.
bureau played turned valley
Bureau Valley played hard, and so did we. We just turned it over too many times at the end.
both came job ready teams
At halftime, we had to do something to put the clamps on them, and we did a much better job after that. Both teams came out really ready to play.
against aspire joe offense players proud quality ran tonight year
I told our players that this is what we can aspire to be like in a year or two. I was proud of the way Joe Redmond ran the offense tonight against a quality team.
against execute fourth hurt zone
That really hurt them a lot in the fourth quarter. We were able to execute better against their zone and we were more patient.
almost fourth free good guys knocked played quarter role score scoring seniors step throws took
We knocked down our free throws the fourth quarter and still took it to the basket. We weren't tentative, and that's really a good step for a young team. We know that almost all our scoring has to come from guys who haven't played much. Our seniors are role players, they don't score much.
carried load
(Huizinga) was a load tonight. He just carried them in the first half.
barometer fun gym love nice nobody shut thinks win
We love the challenge. I've always been that way. It's a nice barometer for us. They may shut us out. Nobody in the gym will think we can win and that's the most fun to play a game, when no one thinks you can win.
forced moving nice shots trouble
We had some nice looks, but not a lot of them. We had trouble moving the ball, and we forced some shots also.
