ball good guys hit job kids mike quite shared sharing step tonight
We really shared the ball well tonight and we had a lot of guys step up and hit big shots. The kids look to Mike quite a bit, but I think he did good job of sharing it, too.
challenge exciting front guys monumental task
It's an exciting challenge for us. We've got a monumental task in front of us, no doubt. But I think our guys will be ready.
defense extend good guys run stayed talk time
That's something we talk to the guys about over and over in practice. When you get on a good run, you want to try to extend it as much as you can. We got on a good run there and stayed on it and most of the time our defense was fueling that.
against fit game good importance kids playing schools talent understand
With our talent level, against an Edwardsville we'd have to play a near-perfect game to win. We fit in pretty well with schools our size, but I think our kids understand the importance of playing against really good competition.
ball gave threw
When we threw that ball away, it gave them the momentum.
kids mention thinking
I didn't mention that to the kids before the game, but I know they were thinking about it.
good hit rough shots starting stretch throughout tournament
We did hit a rough stretch and I don't think we're still completely over it. But we're starting to hit more shots and one thing that showed throughout the tournament is we've been pretty good defensively.
behind defense last learn pick pitching plays position runners scoring
Our last two pitching performances have been great. The defense is making the plays behind them. We've still got to pick up some runners in scoring position We've got to learn to pick those runners up early.
basketball couple good nice playing tonight
I thought Chris's penetration tonight for us was really a key. He got to the rim a couple times and made a couple of nice passes. He's playing some really good basketball for us right now.
ball confidence freeman hot plate seeing time
Freeman is hot right now. He's seeing the ball well. It couldn't have been a better time for him to come to the plate (Friday). He's got a lot of confidence now.
beat bit difference physical players quite range valley
We're pretty physical in the Mississippi Valley (Conference), but we don't have players that are in the 6-6, 6-7 range on many teams. That made quite a bit of difference tonight, and I think we got beat on the backboards.
bit fresh late legs quite tank tried
We substituted quite a bit and I tried to keep fresh legs on the floor. I think we had a little bit more in the tank late in the game.
couple games good recently struggled tonight
He got a couple big baskets there and it was good to see. He's had some games recently where he's struggled some, but tonight he really shined.
