chance excited guys hard kansas proud seniors worked year
I'm so excited for the seniors to get a chance to get back to Kansas City. The guys have worked hard all year long and I'm so proud of them.
beginning couple guys looking maybe second
Right at the beginning of the second half, we had a couple of guys that come out looking lethargic. Maybe we need to look at our first-half warm-up.
accustomed guys mostly playing setting since small
(Municipal Auditorium) is a different setting from what we are used to playing in, since we play mostly in small gyms. I just want the guys to get accustomed to playing in a different environment.
ahead caught focus guys looking southern
We didn't play very well (Thursday). The guys were looking ahead to Southern Wesleyan. We just got caught looking ahead and didn't focus on Emmanuel.
ball business encouragement game guys late means picks serious vocal
He picks his spots. He's not vocal every day, but the guys know he is serious and he means business. He will come up to guys late in a ball game and give them encouragement and he'll also find a way to get it himself.
best dagger grabbing guy league might missed number patriot people player
The guy I think may be the best all-around player in the Patriot League is Lee. He?s so tough. He does the things that people might not notice. It?s not just grabbing a missed shot. It?s getting that steal, deflection, rebound, any number of things that can put a dagger in (the opponent?s) heart.
deliver left
We have to deliver or be left behind.
coffee early favorite fix people pub spot stay till time wind
Things will wind up around 10 p.m. so everyone can get a spot at their favorite pub in time for the new year. This way, people can get their coffee fix early so they can stay up till midnight.
enjoys given loves riding
Evan loves it. He enjoys riding the horses, and it has given him so much confidence. It makes him think and use different muscles.
hard rhythm
(Evan) loosens up with the rhythm of the horse. He can tighten up, really tight, and it's hard to keep him limber.
attention parents pay people reaching talked thousand
Some people talked about me reaching a thousand during the week, but I don't pay much attention to stats. I let my parents do that.
miss offense played presence run tough
We played really tough on Wednesday, but you miss having the presence of him down low. Having him in there allows us to run our offense the way we want to.
effort maximize
We wanted to maximize the opportunities for each of these projects. It's been very much a collaborative effort with all these companies.
accomplish certain played upset win
We played hard. I'm not upset with our effort, but when you play hard, you've got to accomplish certain things. There are certain things that win games.
