credit ended guard players post
We ended up being to guard the post and the perimeter, and I think you have to give our players credit to be able to do so.
chance days good gym needed practice start work
Those days in the practice gym helped. We got a chance to work on some of the things that we needed to work on. This was a good start to the tournament.
foul gave great trouble win
We had a lot of foul trouble and I thought that Burkett, Carl and Ess all gave us some great minutes. That was a big part of the win for us.
beat game guys record team whether
We play every game the same. I don't think our guys ever think about whether we've beat a team before and what they're record is.
ourselves position win work
We still have a long way to go in the conference. We've got ourselves in position to win it, but still have some work to do.
athletes credit defended defense giving good half hard job second taking time tough trying
We do a good job of taking what the defense is giving us. In the second half we defended better, but we still had a tough time rebounding the ball, but that's a credit to Belleville East. They have good athletes and they were trying hard to win.
attention focus fun guys pay sure talk
I don't really pay much attention to the polls. I'm sure it's fun for the guys to look at it and talk about it. But I don't think it's a big focus for them either.
good guys
That's been something we've done all year. We have good shooters and guys that are good competitors.
defense defensive guys played press proud steals
I think our guys played the press very well tonight. We got some big steals and were able to get back on defense when we didn't steal the ball. I was proud of our defensive effort.
focusing game good guys hard job next played playing prepared taking team time whoever worrying
I think our guys played hard tonight. We're doing a good job of taking this one game at a time and focusing on the team we're playing next and not worrying about what's ahead. We prepared well for Jerseyville and now we will get prepared for whoever we play next.
good great personnel team
That team does a lot of really good things offensively and defensively, utilizing their personnel very well. They're a big team and have done a great job.
good halftime physician spencer time
It's the first time we've had a physician with us. It's a good thing we did because he stitched Spencer up at halftime or we wouldn't have had him otherwise.
beat beaten excellent good played teams
They are an excellent team. They beat Alton and we know how good Alton was this year. They've beaten some good teams and have played very well this season.
basketball far good hard shooting shots
They are a good shooting basketball team. And when they are able to make shots from that far out, they are hard to guard.
