confidence quick seemed shooting shot slow talented tried zone
We tried to use a zone to slow Marian down but they shot us out of that pretty quickly. Their shooting seemed to give them more confidence with the trap. They're a quick and talented bunch.
job kane nice nights quick shot
They did a nice job getting Kane going early. We didn't rotate quick enough defensively, and this was one of those nights when they just shot so well.
academy good playing quickly team turn
We've got to turn around quickly and play. We will be playing a good Benet Academy team (tonight).
battle expected nazareth took
We expected Nazareth to battle us like everyone else in this conference, and they did. We took their shot, though, and didn't back down.
aggressive hands improved needed seemed seems time transition
Marian seems to have improved considerably over the first time we met. They seemed to get their hands on everything. We needed to be much more aggressive with the basketball. They scored too many transition baskets.
beginning both close ends execute feels finally good hopefully sure
It really feels good to finally execute at both ends of the floor. We have been so close so many times, to get one is sweet. Hopefully it is a beginning for us. It sure feels good.
aggressive disrupted half later pressure zone
I thought we were very aggressive during the first half and our zone pressure disrupted them somewhat. We really executed well at times. Later on, their pressure put us out of sync.
bad finding good job man notch obviously open shots stepped
They (St. Joseph) obviously stepped it up a notch after halftime. They do such a good job of finding the open man when they're into it. In fact, they're so good that they can take bad shots and make them. And, when they miss, they just go to the glass.
attacking basket happy kept moves nice
Coby did a nice job. He had some nice moves attacking the basket from the post, and I was really happy the way he kept his poise.
ball hurt pressure threw
Their pressure hurt us and we threw the ball away too many times.
teach
And I'll still be able to teach Spanish, of course.
