both fall good knew position time
Both of them were in a position where they knew more responsibilities would fall on them. But they put a lot of time and the effort. When you do that, good things will happen.
games good win
You don't win 20-plus games if you're not a good team.
ball half job needed quite ready
We did a better job of getting the ball down low. I thought the first half we weren't quite ready to play. We needed to be ready right from the get-go.
focused good leading needed practices
We had two pretty good practices leading up to this game. We were pretty focused on what we needed to do.
guy line ton unless wants
Marcus is the guy I want to have on the line in that situation. And I think he wants to be on the line in that situation. I give him a ton of credit. Unless you've been in that situation, you don't know what it's all about.
conference expect half needed offense played points stops team
For us to be a conference contender, we've got to be a better team defensively. You can't give up (35) points in the first half and expect to win. Our offense played well, but didn't get the stops when we needed to.
credit guys kept
One thing I give our guys credit for, they didn't give in. They kept battling.
believed both coach fortunate people played player stayed true worked
I was fortunate both as a player and a coach to have worked and played for people who stayed true to what they believed in.
bids conference hold matter outside shot sure teams winning
I told them not to hold their breaths, but that we had an outside shot at an at-large bid. It was just a matter of the right teams winning their conference tournaments to make sure there are enough at-large bids left.
appreciate far loss neat people short three
I told them the same thing after Whitewater (a 72-70 loss in the WIAC semifinals). In time, you'll appreciate what you did. We have come so far in three short years, and what's neat is how many people contributed.
kept looked paying perspective struggle
Even when things were tough, I kept things in perspective. I looked at what we were going through as paying our dues. Sometimes you have to struggle before you can get to where you want to go.
certainly good played struggle sure
It was a struggle, but it was a good struggle. I'm not sure we played our ?A' game, but we certainly had our ?A' competitiveness.
character good great job rhythm
I thought we were out of character on offense. Calvin did a great job of disrupting our rhythm and we didn't have a good flow.
seem
As I watched, it didn't seem like they missed.
