ball bounce country goes happened point shots team virtually
Virtually every team in the country goes through it. At some point during the season, the ball doesn't bounce your way and the shots don't fall. We just happened to go through it at the end of the season.
ball best both huge job teams
Both teams will try to get the ball inside. The team that does the best job of that is going to have a huge advantage.
ball ben capable confident hands nine shot
I'll take that shot with Ben Jacobson any time. I'm pretty confident that the other nine (Valley) coaches, in a one-point game, don't want the ball in his hands because they know what he's capable of.
ball body handling looks
His body looks better; he's handling the ball better. And Ben's never lacked confidence.
decided games
Our two games with them were decided by really nothing.
good home job last protecting somewhat three
It is a somewhat surprising, especially the home losses, because we've done such a good job the last three years of protecting our home court.
coleman establish game half inside
We were able to establish the inside game early, which I thought was so important. To have Coleman come out and do what he did in the first half just set the tone.
lost
We had lost that edge. But we got it back in practice, and it was there (Friday).
basket crack sure
We have to make sure we get a crack at the basket every possession.
It should be an entertaining weekend. Hopefully, we're around for the end of it.
league road time
Any time you go on the road in this league and win, it's huge.
ben blake work
Ben made Blake work for every shot. Ben and Blake know each other inside-out.
beat good played sure tonight
We weren't very good tonight. That's a fact. But I'm not sure that even if we were good tonight it would have been good enough to beat Bradley the way they played tonight.
deal great respect
At least from our end, there is a great deal of respect for who they are and how they do things.
