against game gets good pivotal second win
We thought this win was going to be a really pivotal game for us at this point. It's good to get that second win against those guys, because in this conference, when it gets down to it, it's going to be tight.
bit finally half home point quite second
They killed us inside. Second half wasn't quite so bad. At some point we finally said enough is enough. That kind of stalled them out enough for us to get a little bit of a cushion. We kind of limped home from there.
bad defense forcing grand great halftime harder kids played playing second shots stay tough valley worry
In the second half, we played much harder and smarter. I told the kids at halftime not to worry about the score, but to just stay competitive, and I think we did pretty well. Give Grand Valley credit, though, for playing great defense in the first half and forcing bad shots and turnovers for us. They were very tough on us.
free hit hitting throws win
We hit just enough free throws to win it, but we should be hitting them all.
defense fairly offense score stop
Our defense has to be there. Then our offense has to be fairly on. We can't just go out there and stop them and not score ourselves.
rattle rattled trying
You just can't let it get to you. You got to know that they're trying to rattle you, and they rattled us.
fortunate good run surprise team win
I feel fortunate to win this game, Belgrade has got a pretty good team. I know they haven't won, but they are going to surprise some people. I think they are a team that is going to go on a run real soon.
cause feels free good hitting kept potential problems
We kept hitting our free throws. That was the difference. It feels good to come out of here with a win. CMR has the potential to cause problems for a lot of teams.
night question stop
It was like night and day (compared to the first half). It was just a question of could we stop CMR.
almost kinds
Those kinds of things are what we need to do more of, because we almost didn't do enough of them tonight.
came
I came here because I thought it would be fun.
believe hang hard won work
I can't believe they haven't won more games. We had to work pretty hard to win. We just did enough to kind of hang on and get out of the game.
job key limiting nice
The key is to make everything that he does difficult. It's not easy. I thought we did a nice job of limiting him to 20.
