basket convert fair game looks rush
We got some fair looks right around the basket and couldn't convert them. (Jonesboro) completely made us get out of our game and rush things around.
emphasis floor game great pass power shoot taking unit
They all pass well, they all put it on the floor well, they can shoot it and they have the power game inside. The emphasis is on team. And that?s not taking anything away from their individuals because they have some great players, but they play so well as a unit with 10 people.
games jonathan momentum moore offense shot
We established momentum right off the bat. We were a lot crisper on offense and a lot better with our shot selection. Jonathan Moore had one of his better games all-around tonight.
answered clue doubting game past people played rogers team teams whether
We played exceptionally well that game and that's where I got the first clue that this could be something special. A lot of people were doubting whether this team would be any different than any of the other Rogers teams of the past and I think we answered that.
coach game nelson nobody opportunity pack separate sure wants
Nobody wants the pack to separate too much and I'm sure that's what coach Nelson is emphasizing. They've got an opportunity to get a game back.
game heat high intensity trying
We?re trying to keep the heat on. It should be a high intensity game I would think.
both defense game great hearts hours played prepare teams
Both teams played great defense tonight. This team only had 24 hours to prepare for this game and they played their hearts out.
attempting change games hard ready road rogers won
It's a pretty hard place to play. But, we're attempting to change a lot of things about Rogers basketball. We've won two big (conference) games on the road now and we're ready to go.
anytime board games motivation number played upset
Anytime I really got upset I'd write the number 57 on the board in big letters. Or I'd use it for motivation after games where we played well.
ask basketball carrying games good jump playing steady together
We may as well jump on (Moore?s) back. He?s carrying us and really playing steady basketball. He?s put together some back-to-back games offensively for us that are about as good as you can ask of a junior.
basket defense held missed shots
We missed some shots around the basket we would like to have back. But the defense held together.
concern four injury kids shuffle tweak
We will tweak some things and shuffle things offensively. Defensively, the injury isn't as much as a concern because we have some kids that can play the four spot.
confidence start team themselves trying
We are trying to start a new tradition. (Rogers) has a lot of confidence about themselves or else the team would have folded.
check good gut panic perform pressure quick
We didn't panic and got some quick baskets and then solidified (the lead) with rebounding. This was a good gut check for us. This could be a big game, to let us know that we can come back and perform under pressure and execute.
