bit came focused fourth good half kids quarter second third tonight tried
Tonight I thought our second half was especially good. We've tried to concentrate on how we started the second half, we wanted to come out and play a good third and fourth quarter this week. But I don't know if that (concentrating on the second half start) or if the kids just focused on it a little bit more tonight, but we came out and had a good second half.
collapsing deeper dribble floor good half job opened second
We did a real good job on him (Bogan) the first half, collapsing on him. The second half they were more in transition, opened the floor up a little bit, so we couldn't do as much with him the second half. He didn't dribble it as much and was able to get it a little deeper in the paint.
five gets half hit knock left maybe open six somebody stay stick
We just left him open maybe six times the first half and I think he hit five of them. You just have to stick somebody with him, just stay with him constantly, because if he gets an open look at it, he's going to knock it down most of the time.
few hit leaving letting open range shots spot
We were leaving him open out there and letting him spot up. He hit a lot of big shots. A lot of them weren't pointblank range -- he hit some 15-footers and a few 3s out there -- so he hit some big shots for them.
ball drew game great hang hard help learn night plays proud
Drew (Satterfield) is going to keep getting better for us. He's just got to learn to hang on to the ball a little better and better footwork would help that tremendously. Drew plays hard every night and he's a great kid. I'm proud he had a great game for us tonight.
aaron assist both drew excellent finding five good great job tonight
Drew (Satterfield) had a great game. I thought Aaron (Jackson) and Cole (Smith) did a great job recognizing him in there tonight - they're both averaging around five assist - and they did a good job of finding him and he did a excellent job of finishing.
early excited good rest scores shot
I think our team's off to a pretty good start. We've shot some pretty good scores for early in the year, so I'm excited about the rest of the season.
county hang heads homecoming night ready team tomorrow
You know Bernie is going to come out after us. Those Stoddard County team like to play us and they know its Homecoming night, so we can't hang our heads about this one, we've got to get ready to play tomorrow night (tonight).
advance basketball good held needed poise seniors team win
But give Advance credit. They have a good basketball team out there they have a lot of seniors and a lot of leadership. They held their poise out there and they did the things they needed to to win the game.
block early eric game guard guards hit players position post rest score stay took
Post players want to play the guard position and guards want to be post players. Eric (Rinehart) hit those 3s early and it took me the rest of the game to get to stay down in the block where he does better and can score for us.
almost composure easy few finished held kids missed shots tight
We let it get a little tight ... We were almost up 20 or 21, I think, and had a few turnovers and missed a few easy shots there, but the kids held their composure and finished it up there at the very end.
feet forty playing position smart wrong
Its not smart basketball, that's what it is. Your in the wrong position with your feet, or we're down there fouling him (Lance) forty feet from the basket. You can't do that. We're just not playing smart basketball. We're really inconsistent. At times we play all right, and other times we don't. We're just not playing very smart.
bring came chances couple difference game hands point quick rebounds three turning
They came out and got three quick baskets on us. But still I think the turning point was when it was about 45-41 and we had a couple of chances at some rebounds down there - had it in our hands a couple of times - and just couldn't bring it in. I thought that was the big difference in the game right there.
drew good hard hurt loose mistake played run team time
That hurt a little bit. Drew (Satterfield) played hard for us tonight. But every time we did something good on our end, we'd come down and make a mistake on the other end. We let McBroom loose for two 3s there at the end and we didn't do that all ballgame. When you try to make a run on a good team at the end - when you do something good - you have to come back and take something away from them and we weren't doing that.
