care far itself league meat potatoes season takes time title tournament winning
Any time you go into a season, winning a league title is the meat and potatoes of your season and anything you do in the tournament is the gravy. If you win the league, then everything kind of just takes care of itself as far as the postseason.
game gave great ready rivalry start time tough
They always come ready to play and they gave us a tough time over there. It's a rivalry game, so we have to be ready for that. It's a great game to play before we start the tournaments.

This is a very special group because they are very unselfish and everyone really understands their roles. The biggest thing with this group is just winning the ballgame. The team goals always supersede the individual goals.

They're dangerous. All three of their guards are solid, and any one can hurt you on any given day.
defense defensive effort good hard legs second shots team ties tire tired wear year
That's our story all year long. We come out and we play good defense in the first half. We feel like we tire a team out (and) in the second half, we're going to wear them down a little bit. I think their legs were a little tired in the second half. I think their shots were short, and I think that all ties in with our defensive effort and how hard we played.
defense settled
They just responded to our defense and settled down with their possessions.
against anybody blown competition great hard level played
They've played some great competition -- they haven't blown anybody out -- but they haven't been blown out by anybody, either. They kind of play to the level of their competition, and I feel like they'll come out and play really hard against us.

It?s a tremendous amount of pride for me. I love coaching these boys. They play so hard day in and day out.
guys played second
They've been our go-to guys all year. And I thought they played really well in the second half.
