definitive except good looked nobody talked
We still have some more investigating to do. We've looked at them on paper, but nobody we've talked to has said anything real definitive about them, except they're a good team.
consistent cruise effort guys mode needed second
We just had a more consistent effort in the second half. Our guys were in cruise mode early, so we needed to refocus our efforts.
coach hat kids night rough says season
That says a lot about coach 'K' and those kids. They've had a rough season and they still come out every night and compete. My hat is off to them. That's something our kids have to understand. That's the way it should be.
careless eliminated happy
I was more happy with the effort. I was happy with our focus. We eliminated some of the careless turnovers we were making.
afford compete fourth hole matter ourselves pull third
We can't afford to go out and not compete for 32 minutes. It doesn't matter who's out on the court. We had a let-down in the third quarter, and we were in too big of a hole to pull ourselves out of in the fourth quarter.
came early easy establish happens leads led pressure
We came out early and we were able to establish our pressure and that led to some easy baskets. When that happens it usually leads to a lot of points.
afford close finally game learn start
I don't know what it is. We can't afford to start a game like that. Fortunately we were still close when we finally got going. It's something we have to learn from.
chance cut talented watch work
We've had a chance to watch some film on them and it's like we thought -- They're a pretty talented team. We're going to have our work cut out for us.
against ball five guys last played small step stepped tonight
Tonight they played us differently than they have the last five times they've played us. They played a little small ball tonight. They had guys step up that haven't stepped up against us before.
came happy reason run small
We really came out flat, and I don't know what the reason was for that. We didn't play with a lot of energy. We were able to make a small run here and there, but I wasn't happy with the performance.
ball behind business care eight hope knock ourselves
It's not inconceivable, but we did put ourselves behind the eight ball a little bit. We have to take care of our business and hope GV can knock off Turlock.
aggressor change guys instead letting nice team
It was nice to see our guys come out and be the aggressor for a change instead of letting the other team take it to us.
against conference game hard last los week win
It's hard to win on the road. This conference has always been that way. Our first conference game against Pitman, we struggled. We didn't play that well last week in Los Banos either.
change since won
It's been a while since we won in the playoffs, we're going to have to try to change that.
