phase point thinking
At no point were we in the game. They were undermanned and I don't know if that contributed to us thinking we could just show up and win, but we did not show up in any phase of the game.
averages call couple game last learning mostly motion percent plays points shooting shots
Before his last game, he was shooting 64 percent from the floor. He's learning to shoot around the basket. He averages 13 to 15 shots a game and we call a couple plays for him, but he's mostly getting points out of our motion offense.
defense early hitting second tough
Early on, our defense was a little suspect. But in the second half, they were hitting some pretty tough shots.
decent good scoring shots
We had some decent scoring opportunities, but we didn't get as many shots as we would have liked. They're a very good team.
cook guy hitting
Cook is one of our better shooters and he was hitting with a 6-8 guy in his face.
eye strong
(Sigler) was real strong off the dribble. He had that look in his eye that he was not going to be denied.
beat bit builder conference confidence gain good greater nice team
We're out to gain a little bit of respect. To beat a team from a good conference like this (the Greater Metro) helps. It's a nice confidence builder for us.
ask couple everybody free gave guys gym minutes practice send shoots stays typical
He's a typical gym rat. After I send everybody home, he stays and shoots jumper after jumper and free throws. He stays 20 or 30 minutes after every practice and I have to tell him to go home. A couple of times, I gave the guys the day off, but he's the first guy to ask if he can come in and shoot.
concentration couple game good nice win
Other than a couple of concentration lapses at the end of each quarter, it was a really nice game for us defensively. This was a good win for us.
He got hammered, but there was no call.
bit shots
Some of our other scorers' shots weren't dropping. We were a little bit off.
basket four halftime hit looked needed played quiet scores sorts stuck time
He played pretty well tonight. A lot of times he scores a quiet 31, but I didn't think so tonight. We looked out of sorts and every time we needed a basket he would come through. That 3 he hit just before halftime was big. We were stuck on 23 for like four minutes.
