accept easy forward joe played point position power role whether willing
Joe makes it easy for our staff. He's willing to accept any role - whether it's point guard, power forward or center. There's not a position he can't play, and he's played them all.
advantage career great joe player
I think it's a great fit. He's a player who's really versatile, and I think they'll take advantage of his strengths. Joe will have a great career there.
changed depth joe lift momentum nice
We have a nice combination of size, depth and versatility. And tonight, we got a big lift from Joe Reyes. He really changed the momentum for us.
created fill opportunity
At that point, it created an opportunity for someone else to fill that void. It wasn't going to take one person. It was going to take a few.
adversity emotion lots overcome playing plays spiritual teams total
As if it was an injury, teams have to overcome adversity. What you see is a team that's very spiritual and plays with a purpose. We were playing with lots of emotion and a lot of intensity. What I like about it is it's consistent. It was a complete, total team effort.
defense four transition
We were only up four (32-28) at halftime. We really tightened up our defense and we got some baskets in transition and we didn't let up.
adverse area conditions deserving fight gotten great improved seems teams understand
We feel we're deserving of a No. 1 seed, and we understand there's some great teams out there. I think we've improved in the area of toughness, and I think we've gotten a lot better defensively. It just seems like we're able to fight through adverse conditions on the court.
adversity fight good tried
We had some adjustments to make, and we tried to fight through the adversity. We did, but they're just a really good team.
depth factors good help senior
We had outstanding senior leadership, talent, depth and determination. Those factors help you to play really good defense.
breathing calmed defense gave hitting picked shots tempo
Reyes hitting those shots calmed us down and gave us breathing room. Our first-half defense then picked up the tempo and Payne and Harden just tag-teamed them. But they have been doing that all year.
satisfied season section team
I think our team isn't satisfied with a section championship. We don't want our season to end yet.
basketball best playing practice ready season
I think we are playing our best basketball of the season right now. We only have one day of practice to prepare, but it doesn't matter. We are ready to play our game.
both fine gives last tradition
I think St. Mary's and Tokay both had a fine tradition in the last 20 years. This (success) just gives (both programs) a little more credibility.
confident inch point
I was confident at that point that we could inch back into the game.
