accept fact fight games life row
You just accept the fact that you're going into Hinkle and you're going to have to fight for your life two games in a row on the same day.
ahead good impact point time tremendous
Any time you've got a good point guard, you're way ahead of the game. Any time you've got a good center, you're way ahead of the game. Any time that combination has a good feel for each other . . . it has a tremendous impact on the game.
fast game played rebound rebounds running slow sure teams tried turn
That's a lot of points. I'm sure teams they've played have tried to slow them down and couldn't. We have to turn the game into one where we rebound it, and they can't fast break. But we're a running team, too, so it'll be an interesting outcome. The rebounds will make the difference.
certainly fit lead lost step takes
They'll have to step up their roles, as to how they fit in. I think Q. and Damian will lead them, and they'll know how to win. They certainly haven't lost much, and they know what it takes to win.
night
What they accomplished is unbelievable. You think any night you're going to stumble, but they just wouldn't let that happen.
ability added attribute care defense good hard mind passing plays position toughness winning
Q. started out winning his position because of his defense and his ability to take care of the ball. His passing has really added to the team's strength, and he just plays very hard. I think Q.'s hard play and his toughness of mind has rubbed off on many of the other players, and he's been a very good attribute for the team.
basketball donald good guys last marion penny state straight teams three titles tyler won year
Last year, we had (Brandon) McPherson and Donald (Cloutier) and Tyler (Morris). The year before we had Penny and Stefan Routt. These are guys that were awfully good basketball players. When you think of the Marion teams (that won three straight state titles in the '80s), it was all the same kids. They didn't have to make all the adjustments (from year to year).
arlington capable course game hope improved opponent opposite perspective record year
It's just the opposite this year from the ranking and record standpoint, so from that perspective I hope we don't have the same result. We know that Arlington is a capable opponent and has improved its game during the course of the year. But while they're better, we hope we are, too.
history
It's history in the making, but we still have one more game.
quality
I like to get out here and see the quality of the fish. It's something I just like to do.
forgotten funny huge office smile walking
I had forgotten all about it, and Greg comes into my office walking funny with this huge smile and I didn't know what was going on. Then I remembered.
challenge rises
If you challenge Mike, he rises to it very quickly.
certainly gentlemen players sports
He's just a gentleman. That's what makes him a little special. There's a lot of players out there who are me-me players anymore, and Greg is certainly not one of those.
avoid game ourselves talk
We avoid it because we don't talk about it. We just go game to game and keep ourselves enthralled with the present, not with what could be or what was.
