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.
came couple extremely happy kids step took yesterday
We didn't play very consistent. I am extremely happy with a couple of our kids that came off the bench. But as a whole, I wasn't happy with our effort. I thought we took a step back from yesterday and that's disappointing.
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.
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.
days focus next played talked
We played with them in spurts. That's something we talked about after the game. We have to be more consistent. In the next two days we have to focus on not being so up and down.
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.
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.
few games last lost manner momentum talked three winning
After we lost to Taft (Tuesday) we talked about winning at least two of the last three game. We were able to do that, but it wasn't the manner in which we wanted to do it. We didn't come away from these last few games with as much momentum as we could have.
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.
basketball lightning shoot win
Taft is an outstanding basketball team. I can see why they're favored to win their section. Not only are they lightning quick, but they can shoot too.
again carry everybody gets good guard guy point stronger
At the point guard position, he's just so much stronger than everybody else. Even when he gets a guy on his hip, he can just carry him on his way to the basket. He's been pretty good at that all year, and he did it again today.
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.
