defense ourselves pride wins
We pride ourselves in defense and like they say, defense wins championships.
came confidence lack playing
It is just a lack of concentration. It has to do with playing with confidence under and around the basket. We just came out flat.
ball few games good intensity last needed past played playing tonight win
We played with intensity tonight and that's what we've been missing. We've been playing so lackadaisical the last few ball games and we really needed to get past that. This was a good win for us tonight.
beginning came committed flat played second
We came out flat in the second half. We came out and committed two costly fouls at the beginning of the half. We just played sluggish.
attack ball foul free guys shoot throw trouble
We did what we wanted to do. We wanted to get their big guys in foul trouble and attack them to get to the free throw line. We accomplished that goal, but we just couldn't make a free throw tonight. We just didn't shoot the ball well.
against couple fighting fights-and-fighting games guys last playing playoff sports team trying understand
We've been fighting for the last couple of games to keep these guys focused. We're trying to get them to understand that when you're playing against a team fighting for their playoff lives, they're going to give it everything they've got.
loss physical pushing team
I think this loss just showed that they're more physical and more mature. I told my team we need to keep pushing it, but that's what (Quincy) did. That's what an experienced team does.
crazy kinda open
It was kinda crazy going back and forth. We were working the inside-outside game, and when they doubled down we got open shots.
fought surprising tail walking worked
It's really surprising how well he's playing. You see him walking, and he's walking with a limp, and you never would think that he's been able to play like he is. But he's worked his tail off and he's fought to get where he is.
beat great help
It was amazing. All I wanted was to help (the seniors) beat Mac. It's a great feeling.
couple dominate forced game guards guys hit inside second
The inside guys started to dominate us a little in the second half. That forced us to have to go a zone, and then their guards hit a couple of 3-pointers that put the game out of reach.
holes line offensive
The offensive line is just amazing. They made the holes for me and I was able to get through them.
match sort
At first it was sort of awkward. Now, everybody's getting used to it. Overall, we just need to be able to match out intensity.
defense finished finishing floor good guys preaching proud work
I told the guys to just play good defense and no make (Riley-Smith) put it on the floor and work for a shot. They did that. I'm proud of these guys. I've been preaching to these guys about finishing off games. We finished one off tonight.
