frustrated good help shots weather win
It wasn't a pretty game, but we got some good shots to help us win the game. We got a little frustrated with ourselves. Fortunately we were able to weather that storm.
chemistry good great group individual talented team
We're a good team. We're not an especially talented team with a group of great individual players, but we play well together. The chemistry on this team is exceptional.
player settle sharing struggle type
We had to settle back down and get back to doing what we do best, which is sharing the ball. We can't press. When we press, we struggle because we don't have the type of player who can do it on his own.
best crowd
That was the best crowd we've had all year. That's what you play for all season.
game though
I wasn't comfortable the whole game even though we were up 10 for a while. But it was better than being down 10.
three
I thought we were able to negate their big three (offensive stars), at least doing enough to frustrate them. At the other end, we were able to get decent, high-percentage shots.
four good job last minute win
We didn't do a very good job in the last minute and a half. What should have been a six- or eight-point win was four points.
good league teams zone
We're not the Huskies, but we play pretty good basketball. All the teams in this league can shoot. You don't see too many zone defenses in this league.
games trailing western won
Western has won so many games where they've been trailing and come back at the end, so I was never comfortable.
attack deadly looks open transition
They were deadly with their transition offense. They don't need open looks to score, they can attack the basket.
convert free good hit looks rebounds stretch throws
I thought we got some good looks down the stretch and we just didn't convert them. We need to do that to be competitive. Give them credit. They have been here before. They hit big free throws and got the rebounds they needed.
ball bottom line people scoring sharing slow spots stop
I think we have to stop them from scoring and slow them down in transition. The bottom line for us is sharing the ball and getting people in the right spots to shoot.
ball came game half happen needed possibly scholars-and-scholarship second shoot shot tonight win
It came down to they shot the ball well in the second half and we didn't. We have to shoot the ball well to possibly win the game . . . and it didn't happen tonight when we needed it.
five good justifies maybe playing teams
I think it's good for our league. Having two teams playing for the championship maybe justifies having five GNAC teams in the tournament.
