bunch call chances clear felt game pull
Things were going well clear into Game 3 and then we squandered a bunch of points. I didn't call a timeout because I felt we'd pull out of it. We had our chances in Game 3 and then we collapsed.
kinds team
The team did well at times, and didn't play well at times. It was one of those kinds of matches.
control
That's just poor. But whatever. You can't control that.
found lucky
We were very lucky tonight. We found a way to win.
seven trip
One trip probably would kill seven years of recruiting.
best compete figured neat played
I wouldn't say that we played our best volleyball. What's neat is we figured out a way to compete and get it in.
games played start
We didn't start off so good, but then we got on our game, and we played well in Games 2 and 3.
good wednesday
We'll have good sessions (today) and Wednesday and we'll see how he's doing.
both challenge hit saw teams top
Both teams were tired. I saw a lot of spikes hit the top of the net. Of course, it was the same for both teams. It was a challenge for both teams.
hoping improved last saw since sure thinking
We're thinking 'one day at a time,' and hoping to get a little better each day. Have we improved since we last saw them (Jan. 20)? For sure we have.
best climb figured gave hill neat trying
We were the little Volkswagen trying to climb that hill without all of its cylinders. We gave it everything we had. We battled and battled. The neat thing is we figured out a way to win. That's probably the best thing I can say.
good practice seeing
He's being a good teammate. The Jose we're seeing (in matches) is the Jose I see in practice all of the time. He's a good player.
bad guys spots standing sure
If they didn't have anything on us, they sure were standing in the right spots a lot. I think some of our guys got off to bad starts.
hurting landed smiling
He really landed hard. He's smiling now, but he's going to be hurting later.
