We made the lead big in the first quarter and they weren't able to catch us after that. I thought we played hard. I thought we played smart.

Our low-post defense and defensive rebounding will be a big key.
allow balls basketball capable collapsed dribble good guard hurting kept loose passes points situations
He is a very good player. And I thought we did well to guard him. He got some of those points off loose balls that we collapsed on and didn't get and he got passes in situations where he could score, but that's just how basketball works. But I thought we did well guarding him. We didn't allow him to penetrate too much and we kept him from hurting us off the dribble like he is capable of doing.
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 guys
That's been something we've done all year. We have good shooters and guys that are good competitors.
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.
athletics good great happy himself likes opportunity
He's made himself a good shooter, and I think that showed tonight. He's a good athlete, and I think he likes all sports. That's a great opportunity for him at Minnesota, and I think he's happy about it.

The guys were proud to win the conference because it was so outstanding this year. Our guys have done a good job. They've prepared well and played well and had a great regular season. Now we're getting ready to start a new season, and we'll get to work on that.

All things considered, we probably played the best game we've played all year, and we needed to do that. I thought they played outstanding.
