bad guarded harder passes second shots took tough
We guarded them a little harder in the second half. They made some bad passes and took some tough shots and that's where we were able to get some separation.
anybody credit expected games great hard kids played senior testimony together win worked
It's a great credit to the kids. I don't think anybody realistically expected us to win 20 games this season. It's a great testimony to how hard the kids have worked this year, and played together and to our senior leadership.
bought brought effort hard puts seniors since stamp worked
It's great. These seniors have bought in to what I've brought since day one and this just validates their effort and how hard they've worked to get here. It puts a stamp on the program.
adjust against climb hole knew needed ourselves quarter team tough
We knew the first quarter was going to be important. We needed to get a feel (and) we just didn't adjust well to their athleticism. We got ourselves in a big hole and it's tough to climb out of a hole against a team like (Champaign).
energy kids stressed
We just stressed that the kids had to have more energy. They were a little lackadaisical in the first half.
bring credit direct early playing result strengths
We weren't playing to our strengths early on, we were playing to our weaknesses. Credit Central. That is a direct result of what they bring to the table.
came great guys job moving packing showing signal sit watch
I thought those guys came in and did a great job moving on offense. It didn't signal that we were packing it in. I was just showing them (the starters) how I wanted movement. I let them sit down and watch and see how those guys were moving.
ball beat defense flat guy rest standing team
I thought on defense we were flat out getting beat one on one and in the zone. Offensively we were very stagnant. When someone had the ball the rest were just standing and watching. It wasn't just one guy it was a team effort, so to speak, tonight.
great kids proud
Our kids didn't give up. I'm so proud of our seniors, they did a great job.
ball lit shot
He shot the ball outstanding from the arc. He really lit it up.
bench communication four guys inside knew lost norton poor presence several three
We lost Norton several times. He killed us from the corner, right where we knew he would be. It was poor communication and poor recognition on our part. With all three big guys on the bench with four fouls, we didn't have all our parts. Not having an inside presence really hurts.
defensive needed stands
We made some defensive stands when we really needed them.
came good knew
We knew we were the underdogs. They're awfully good and we came out tentative.
ask early played
We played real well early on. You couldn't ask for a better start.
