best chances given knocked led nine played plenty seconds teams
We just knocked off one of the best teams on our schedule, and I don't even think we played our best game. We didn't give up. We could have given up. We had plenty of chances to give up. We led for (the last) nine seconds of the game, and that's all that matters.
opinion
That was the game, those two (baskets) in my opinion were the game.
next teams trademark
That's been our trademark lately. We get the momentum, and we haven't been able to put teams away. We get a six, eight-point lead, and the next thing you know it's tied.
extending half leads problems
That's been one of our problems (holding leads or extending leads). We're a young team, but it's more than half way (through) the season, so we're not young anymore.
against days fourth hold lead offense quarter run tough
That's a weapon. They don't run it as much these days to just hold the ball, it's more of an offense -- and that's a tough offense. You give them the lead going into the fourth quarter ... a six-point lead is like 15 against a lot of teams.
feels good home
It feels good to come home. And it feels even better to come home and get a win.
ball buy credit defense kids points second shot turned
We couldn't buy a shot in that second quarter. You have to credit their defense. Their defense is tough. Part of it was them and part of it was that we turned the ball over. The kids got urgent. We got down, and all of a sudden, we thought we'd make up 15 points on one possession, and that's not going to happen.
anywhere close four full hard kids played potential quarters realize together
I don't think we played anywhere close to our best. These kids don't know what their full potential is. We haven't put together four quarters in a game. They realize that and know they need to keep working hard in practice.
against beat four friday game night points team
We've got a big game on Friday night against a team that beat us by four points up at their place. There won't be any letdown.
east louis might played playing teams
We've played Carbondale and East St. Louis, and if they played 10 times, they might go 5-5. When you look at the teams that are left, East St. Louis is playing as well as anybody.
defense lack tough
It wasn't a lack of defense on those threes. They just made some tough shots.
exciting excuse five games kids manage six
It was much more exciting that I would have liked. We're a young team, but we can't use that excuse anymore. We're 15 games into the season. That's an excuse you can you get away with five or six games into a season. Our kids have matured, and they need to manage pressure.
close happen
They banked in a 3, and those kind of things will happen when you don't get after a team, and close the door.
beat last team totally
We beat them by 20 last time. But they are a totally different team than they were then.
