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.
beat chance cheering everybody feeling finals gave good nobody people point production several starting tournament
Everybody (in Rolla) was cheering for us in the tournament finals but nobody really gave us a chance to beat that team. After that I was feeling very good about our chemistry. We were starting to get some point production from several people and that was going to be critical.

Van Buren will have three good practices to prepare for us. We will be tired Wednesday and will only have a breakdown practice to get ready for Van Buren.
ball both decisions ends good key limit
We must make good decisions with the ball and limit unforced turnovers. Rebounding will be key on both ends of the floor.
chances good leap looking reach steps taking
We were taking steps before but this is a leap right now. We're looking pretty good (to reach the playoffs). I like my chances right now.
deep fresh good looked quality
Considering we don't have an exceptionally deep bench, I thought we looked pretty fresh tonight. Right now our quality of play is good and because it is, we're able to win.
conference focus good keeping
Our team?s focus has been pretty good (during the conference season). They?re keeping things in perspective.
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.
good guarantees math tonight
I?m not too good at math but I think (the win) pretty much guarantees us going to state. That?s the only good thing I see from tonight other than the win.
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.
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.
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.
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.
