hit man needed
P.J. was the man tonight. He hit some big threes for us when we needed them.
definitely gave needed points time
That definitely gave us momentum. It put us up two points at a time when we really needed it.
crucial mistakes
We just made some crucial mistakes there at the end with some turnovers.
attack attacked basket score telling
I was telling him to penetrate and attack the basket. I really jumped his butt, but once he attacked the basket he was able to score some points.
felt kids left minutes mistakes worked
I feel like we made some mistakes at the end but my kids worked really hard. To be up 10 with two minutes left in the game, I felt like it slipped away.
cushion few fifth game games great last lead teams three
To have a two or three game lead going into the last few games is a great feeling. This was a big game for us to keep that cushion on those teams in fifth place.
feeding felt playing
When Michael's playing well it relieves everyone. Everyone felt comfortable feeding him the ball.
came felt game gave good plan rebound
It's very disappointing. I thought we came in with a good game plan and it felt like we were just one rebound away from winning. We gave (Fayetteville) too many chances.
battle both defense holy step tough
It was a good, hard-fought battle for both teams. Holy Cross's defense made it tough for us. We just had to step up to the plate.
credit guys laying
It shouldn't have come down to that. But I give my guys credit for not laying down.
good guys plays
They made the plays when they had to. They don't have a superstar. They've got 10 guys that play all the same and they did a good job.
control defense guy shoot sure
They play a lot of man-to-man defense and have shooters. They also have a big guy inside. They like to shoot it and go get it. We have to make sure we control the boards.
everybody step time
They are pretty good. Everybody there contributes and every time someone different is going to step up.
against asked best harder last michael played spoke state teams watched
Last Saturday, I asked them if any of them have ever played in the state tournament. Only Michael (Sanchez) spoke and said he had watched a game. I told them you will play against the best teams in Arkansas. Once you make the first time, you will keep working harder to get back.
