best chemistry christmas good great memorial pieces saw tapes team time
At about Christmas time we saw some different tapes and thought Memorial was the best team in the state. I thought they had some great chemistry and some really good pieces of the puzzle.
came caught early great rest
That was a priority. He came out and got that early 3 on us, caught us flat-footed, and he didn't have another 3 the rest of the way. He had a great first half. He really put on a show.
balance great guys last rest seen stepped toughness
It's not a concern. We've had great balance all year. The rest of our guys have stepped up on different nights. We have great toughness and a lot of heart, as you've seen the last two nights.
andy ball couple fast great half hands job keeping shoot trying
They play a 1-3-1 and do a couple of different things out of it. What they are trying to do was they were trying to get us to shoot a little fast and away from the basket. In the first half they were doing a great job of keeping the ball out of Andy and Tim's hands and away from the basket.
certainly crucial floor front great guards key knock line loose open provide respect room toughness
Our front line is getting the respect and it's certainly well-deserved. But our guards provide so much toughness and so many crucial baskets at key times. They knock down open shots, they provide room for Andy. They are on the floor for loose balls, charges, it's a great group.
across ball knocking night pass skip
The skip pass was there all night. We weren't getting the ball across and we weren't knocking them down.
determined group intensity says
Boy, defensively we were just dynamite. That says a lot about our intensity and our will to win. We have just such a determined group of guys.
elevated game
Big game after big game he's elevated himself.
attacking pressure shot specifics talk
We don't talk about specifics as to what shot we should or shouldn't take. We talk about attacking and we wanted to penetrate their pressure defense.
certainly dreams motivation motivational others special teams wants
We had a little more motivation than some of the other teams in the tournament. Certainly everyone wants to win. We had dreams. I know others had dreams too. But our dreams are awfully deep-rooted. This one is pretty special for us.
unusual
That's unusual for us. I like to see more balance. But I'll take where we're at.
final game leave less likely might prep scouting team time underdog win
I would like to be able to have more preparation time as a coach. The less prep time you have the more you leave the game to chance. The more likely an underdog is going to win that sectional final or a team less drilled in scouting and fundamentals might get through if you have less time to prep.
guard impressed offensive unselfish
I'm impressed with their guard play. And their decision-making and their unselfish offensive style.
game inside maybe outside paint wearing
That was his first game ever wearing contacts. He was 4-for-13 from inside the paint and 1-from-1 from outside we think that maybe they over-prescribed him. He must have 20-0 vision.
