coach exactly mattered needs points scores spencer team trying wants whether
I don't think it's ever mattered to Spencer whether he scores any points or not. He's just trying to do what the team needs him to do and he's always going to do exactly what the coach wants him to do.
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.

Spencer is a very gifted player who works very hard at what he does. I thought he played smart, played with a lot of intensity and had a great game.

Spencer and E.J. made some nice plays in the middle.

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.

They are a good shooting basketball team. And when they are able to make shots from that far out, they are hard to guard.

E.J. and Dustin have both come in and worked and adapted to the other players.

East St. Louis played hard tonight. They played well defensively with their pressure and they made some hard shots. You have to give them credit, they played a good game.

Belleville East played a great game, and it was hard for us to defend them. I was talking to one of my assistants, and we agreed we played our best game of the year. And we needed to do that to win this one.
good guys hard job press time worked
We did a good job of pressing. Our guys worked real hard in the press and they did a real good job of being in the right place at the right time in the press.
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.
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.
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.
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.
