finished game past
We finished the game. We hadn't finished the game the past four.
absolutely felt hate
You hate to do this as a coach. But I felt it was absolutely necessary.
discussion game issue practice ready road
We've never made (playing on the road) a big deal, so it's never become an issue with the kids. There's no discussion about where we're playing. It's just a road game and we just go to practice and get ready to play.
good news
The good news is, someone is going to win.
decent forward looking road seem though tough
We seem to play pretty decent on the road, so even though it's going to be a tough road swing, we're looking forward to it.
advantage both inside people physical size start
We need to start getting more physical with people. In both games, we had a significant size advantage on them, and our inside people couldn't take advantage of that.
four situation stay zone
We've had that zone in for only four days. We wanted to stay in the zone and not get into a one-on-one situation with them.
bunch came chance deal desire five games last pull six together tonight win
We've been down before at the half, so it wasn't a big deal to us. Five of our last six games we've had a chance to win and didn't have the desire to pull it out. We were a bunch of individuals, but tonight we came together and were able to pull out a win.
adjustment finish hopefully
It's up to her now to hopefully finish this thing out and get back on track. And it's up to us now to make the adjustment team-wise.
running
The big thing with her is conditioning. I had her running with the first group. I don't see any problems.
both game games last saturday tied win
It's going to be an important game for us. I think if we can get the win on Saturday we'll still probably be tied and I think it will come down to our last two games for both teams.
adjust came conference continuity game hard played second team
They were a completely different team than when they came to see us. It's hard to adjust because we played them in the second conference game and then in the last. We couldn't get any continuity with how much better they were.
again came ended front good higher last opportunity repeated seed year
It's a new season. We've got a good opportunity in front of us. But we came last year as a higher seed and we ended up getting beat. We don't want to have that be repeated again so we have to get back on track.
best decision everybody interest involved
It's a decision you don't want to have to make, but ... for the best interest of everybody involved it was probably the best decision.
