I think we're a better scoring team than we showed tonight. I know we're a better shooting team than we showed tonight.
beat entire fall few knew missed press shots
We knew they were big, but we wanted to press them the entire game. Even if we got beat a few times, we were going to press. We missed a few shots early, but then they started to fall for us.
best ease fine game guys knew press wear
We knew they were big and they had a lot of girth to them, so we wanted to try to wear them out the best we could. Our guys knew we were going to press the whole game, we weren't going to ease up and, if they scored on it, we were fine with that because we wanted to get an up-tempo game as much as we could.
bench help impose
We use our bench to help impose our will.
section win
We didn't win the section this year, and, after that, we set this as our goal.
battle fight game hampton happy kids knew needed tough whatever
I was happy to be up 12 points. But, you know and I know that Hampton wasn't going to go away. Everyone knew they were going to battle back and be there at the end. They have tough kids and you knew they were going to fight back and do whatever they needed to do to be in that game at the end.
fact inside kindness missing settled sure surprised
I was kind of surprised they settled for those 3-point shots. But I'm sure that had something to do with the fact they were missing some inside players.
early jumping lead
Jumping out to the early lead was probably just more of us being experienced in this game.
exhausted
I'm happy, but I'm tired, exhausted and emotionally drained.
bus driver
I think we had the slowest bus driver in Pennsylvania.
defensive pushed
We rebounded well on the defensive end and we pushed the ball.

We had to look ourselves in the mirror after that one. And we had to regroup after that loss.
felt hard lose slip
It's hard to lose like this because we kind of felt like we let one slip away.
athletics dan dribble great shoot versatile
Dan is a great athlete. He's a very versatile guard. He can take you off the dribble and shoot the three. You can't sag on him and you can't play him tight.
