came dedicated focused good group guys hard prepared work
We've got a good group of guys that work very hard at what they do and are very dedicated and focused on getting better every day. We prepared hard for this tournament, like we do for all our games, and we came out and executed.
basketball focused games hard practice pressure win work
There's no more pressure on us now than there was when we first started. We like to play basketball. We like to work hard in practice and we like to work hard in games and we like to win basketball games. That's all we're focused on right now and that's all that matters.
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.
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.
ball granite played plays shooting struggled tough zone
We struggled a little shooting the ball tonight. Granite plays a good, tough zone and they played it very well tonight.
ball credit extremely good handle knew shoot shot team three win
We knew they would not quit. T-Town is a very good team, we knew we had to keep at them because they handle the ball well, shoot the three well and play good defense. That's not a team we thought we'd win big over. They shot the ball very well from three, I have to give them a lot of credit for that, they shot extremely well.
ability defense gives guard guy key team tough
I think our team is tough to guard because we don't have one guy that you can key on. If you take something away from us, we have had the ability to take what the defense gives us.
finding good job places team
I think our team did a good job of finding Dustin in places where he could score. Then he made the shots.
active defense glass good mark night played rebounds
I thought Mark had a real good game. He made some shots, he was really active on the glass and got a lot of big rebounds and he played good defense all night long.
defense defensive
Our low-post defense and defensive rebounding will be a big key.
against basketball came good hard kids played poise pressure situation win
Our kids played real hard against a very good basketball team. They showed a lot of poise in a pressure situation and came up with a big win for us.
great guys ready start
Our guys have had a great season. We're getting ready to start a new season.
ball both ends good night offensive played rebounds shoot since three
I thought we played very well on defense. And I thought we rebounded the ball on both ends very well. And we had to since we didn't shoot very well, but Schaefer had three offensive rebounds on our first possession, he had a very good night on the boards.
against best game played team
I think we probably played our best game of the year. We had to against a team like that. A lot of things went well for us and not much went right for them.
