best defense game good played pressure tonight
We played some pretty good pressure defense tonight and I think that got them out of sync. It's the best game we've played in a while.
everybody good played
Everybody played after some illnesses. They all weren't 100-nt, but they were good enough to play.
both couple hit lose played possible second
We played well both offensively and defensively in the second quarter. We hit a couple of threes and that got us back. But in truth, we did just about everything possible to lose the game.
defended execute game half hustle played poor second shot
This game is always a big one. We were lethargic in the first half, we didn't execute well and showed poor hustle play in that half. But we played better in the second half. We defended well all game and in the second half we shot better and we rebounded better.
played smooth wish
He's a really smooth player. I wish he played for me.
counted game good league loss played playoff tough win zone
Cheshire played very good zone defense. And we didn't play real well. It was a very big win for them and a tough loss for us because it was a cross-over game that counted in the league playoff standings.
game giving good tried win
We tried to keep the game in the 40s. In the 50s, we still had a chance, but we can't win giving up over 60 points. We made a good showing, but not good enough.
bit caliber easier guy sets succeed team tone
It was a little bit frustrating, at times, for him because he wanted his team to succeed more than anything. He may have been my hardest-working guy (ever) at practice. When a guy of that caliber sets the tone in practice, it made it a lot easier for me.
huge love shots
That was a huge shot. Shots like that are why we love him.
close lost ok turn turned win
That was frustrating because we have lost so many close game. I thought that this was our turn to win a close one, but everything turned out OK in overtime, so we're happy.
against division road team win
To get a road win against a team in our division made me happy.
box contribute eight grab kids pleased seven
What pleased me most is that we had a whole lot of kids contribute tonight. We had kids get seven eight points, grab rebounds, get assists -- things that don't always show up in the box score.
against athletic came chance game hard seconds team third
We were down by 13 in the third quarter. But we came back and with 30 seconds to go, we were down by just two. This was a game we had a chance to win, but it's very hard to come from 13 down against a very athletic team like Hamden.
conference count crossover game good southern towards
The only good thing about this game is that it doesn't count towards the Southern Connecticut Conference playoffs. It isn't one of our crossover games, so we're still 3-1 in that category.
