biggest boost game kids none past playoff won
I think the biggest thing is we were able to get past the first game, which is a big boost of confidence. I mean, none of these kids had won a playoff game (until Tuesday).
win
We're just stunned. We thought we were going to win that game.
experience happy help
We're happy to get out of the first round. I think that will help now that we have some experience under our belt.
admit hate looking past respect
I think we were looking past them a little bit, which I hate to admit because we respect all teams.
aggressive dean ok
I think it was important for us, because it showed Dean it was OK for him to do those kind of things, and be real aggressive (out there).
break free game giving points relentless seems team time weakness
That's a weakness for us right now, really. The thing I told my team right after the game was the two things we've got to be relentless on are rebounding and free throws. ... It's seems like every time we play, we're giving up second-chance points ... and those things break your back.
active dean gets guy hard pleased rebounds seen works
I was really pleased with Dean Johnson, he's a guy who works really hard for us and gets a lot of rebounds for us, but that's the most active I've seen him.
bench pleased second skip
I was very pleased with our bench play in the second quarter. I mean, we didn't skip a beat.
basketball floor relying spread
I think it comes back to relying on the things we do real well. ... I think we're going to have to do the same things, spread the floor ... and look to penetrate and kick.
decided
It all started with our defense. They decided to go out and get some stops.
chance game gave kids plan win worked
Our game plan worked and the kids executed it to perfection, which is what gave us that chance to win the game.
Honestly, I don't know what we can do man-to-man to take those two out of the game.
coming worry
Coming out of the holidays, you worry about them being a little sluggish.
care fact kids lead pleased team
Again, I'm real pleased with the fact that these kids never relinquished the lead ... and were able to take care of business. And, that's kind of a thing this team does.
