both defense defensive execution good guys half matched offense played post second
That was a well-played first half by both teams. There was a lot of good offense and good execution. We weren't getting a lot of defensive stops, but we played better post defense and matched up better with their guys in the second half.
best break game gets good hurt percent ran ways wrist
Omar hurt his wrist in the Tacoma game. He didn't play his best game tonight, but he contributed in other ways and ran the break well early, which got us off to a good start. We know he'll be there for us down the stretch. When he gets back 100 percent physically, he'll have a lot more confidence.
against good held second together
We've put together some good second halves. Against Highline (on Saturday), we held them to 29 second-half points.
emotion focus game good offensive team
We have to come out and focus on team defense. We need to play with a lot of emotion and intensity. We're a good offensive team with good balance, but we need to have our 'A' game defensively.
either games good knocking ncaa ninth seeds time top tough tournament watch
First games in tournaments are tough. If you watch the tournament championships in all of the NCAA leagues, you'll see ninth seeds knocking off top seeds. This is a tough time of the year, and everyone is either pretty good or has got a lot better.
ball blew defensive good handling job passing poor suspect witnessed
We didn't do a good job handling their defensive pressure, and that was witnessed by very suspect footwork and poor passing on our part. We blew a lot of good opportunities to get the ball inside.
ahead ball games good inside opponents shoot
They shoot the ball really well and take a lot of 3-pointers. They've had some big wins, and they've had games where they were way ahead and let their opponents back in and lost. They also have a good inside presence.
best focused good guys time
This is a big time for us. I'm doing my best to get these guys ready, but we need to get focused when we get to Kennewick and have some good practices.
against fourth good held holding job score season shore somebody time win
I think that's the fourth time this season we've held somebody under 60 points. Defensively, we did a good job holding them down. Offensively, we can score enough to win against anybody, but we have to shore up our rebounding.
closing foul minutes played second until
We could've gambled and played Germain more in the first half, but we were right in there until the closing minutes without him. He was fatigued, and I didn't want to have him get another foul and then play tentatively in the second half.
campbell played second
E.J. got us going with that three-ball. We played a lot better in the second half. And Campbell played well, too.
grabbed half hang job late offensive poor rebounds second
We did a poor job rebounding. They (the Titans) grabbed 14 offensive rebounds in the second half that enabled them to hang in there and get a late lead.
defense hit nice played second solid streak
We played solid defense and we hit a nice (scoring) streak in the second half.
forced front hard helping job mickey realized stay throw trying worked
We realized what they were trying to do with the mismatches. Mickey worked hard to stay in front and forced them to throw lob passes. We did a better job of thinking, communicating and helping each other out.
