advantage altered beat blocked defense extend shot tried turns
We've really tried to extend our defense and take advantage of him being back there. If we get beat back door, it turns into a blocked shot or an altered shot.
again ball eight four percent shooting shots turned
We turned the ball over eight times in the first quarter, and four times again in the second, and 12 turnovers is not getting it done. We had over 50 percent shooting in the first half, we just couldn't get enough shots off.
man minutes plays position sixth somebody stepping unknown
Betz is our sixth man but he probably plays only 10 minutes a game. He's never been in that position before. Those are the kind of things you got to have to make a post-season run; somebody unknown stepping up like that.
against good kids silly speed strength
Sometimes when you play against kids that are that good of athletes, you make silly things happen. ... Just the speed and strength (of Macomb) made us do things that we didn't want to do.
impressed played teams
I was pretty impressed because Macon was one of the better teams we've played this season.
basketball care guard
We have to take care of the basketball if we want to win, 10 turnovers or less. And we have to guard them on the perimeter.
both close ends finally floor margin minutes win
I thought it would be 50-50. I thought we'd have to win some close games. I didn't think we'd win by margin we did tonight. But we finally put in 32 minutes at both ends of the floor tonight.
four game guys mike plan three worked year
Obviously, the game plan has got to be to try to take the other four guys out and let Mike (Tisdale) get his. It worked three times this year and 27 times it didn't. Unfortunately, it worked (this game).
against five game guys learn team tough
It's tough against a team like Nokomis, because they have five guys out there who can score. Hopefully, we'll learn from this. At least it wasn't an elimination game tonight.
ball good playing
We're just not good enough to get him the ball all the time. And once we started playing from behind, we didn't have much of a chance. At least it wasn't an elimination game.
bit
I thought we were jittery a little bit early.
defensive hope outside shooting solid teams
They're one of the most solid defensive teams that we've seen. They're outside shooting is going to give us fits. I hope it doesn't, but I think it may give us fits.
goal
Our goal was just to get to our sectional and see what we could do after that.
equal
He was at least Mike's equal in the post, I'll say that.
