fourth free missed plays shoot three throws
We made some plays down the stretch. While we didn't shoot free throws well (16-for-29) we made some big ones in the fourth quarter. And we rebounded three of our own missed free throws which was very important.
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.
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.
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.
everybody good played
Everybody played after some illnesses. They all weren't 100-nt, but they were good enough to play.
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.
close games kinds losing share winning
We're still losing those close ones. We need to keep working on winning our share of those kinds of games.
decisions four last poor
When you're up by four in overtime, you should win. But in that last minute, we made some very poor decisions with the ball.
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.
