couple maybe missed normally shots strategy
He missed a couple shots he doesn't normally miss so maybe that part of the strategy worked.
came couple dropped fire hit last locker room run shots
We came out of the locker room with a little fire, but it didn't last very long. Kemp hit a couple of shots on us when we were making a run and we dropped our heads.
couple games gotten kept led lost question seniors starts time top work year
The seniors have led the way, there's no question about that. There was a time during the year when we lost a couple games that they could have gotten down, but they never did that. They just went to work and really kept it going. It all starts at the top with the leadership.
couple everybody help home plays practices
I don't know if it makes a difference, because everybody plays better at home in this league. But we'll still get a couple of practices in so that should help us a little bit.
couple gave left minutes rest tight
I left him in there too long. I should have gave him a couple minutes rest, but it was such a tight game, I wanted him in there.
couple defense fault gotten mark minutes
That's the coach's fault because I should have gotten him out of there probably around the 10-minute mark for a couple minutes rest. He was tired, in his defense there.
couple days nice recognized tough
It's nice for him to get recognized because it's been a tough couple days for him.
defense energy ready run
We have to be ready on defense again. They like to run in transition, and they'll play with a lot more energy at home.
again showing talk tougher
We always talk about how much tougher things are on the road. Well, it's showing again right here.
hopefully hotel near pulled pulling
We're pulling out all the stops. It was right near the hotel when we pulled up so hopefully that was a sign.
attitude win
You have to be good, but you have to be lucky, too. And you have to believe. You have to go in with the attitude that you can win it.
attitude far improving passive past team teams themselves works
This team works better than other teams we've had in the past as far as improving themselves on the court, and the attitude is always positive. But this team has its own personality, and unfortunately, it's a passive one.
proven winning
You have to look at them first. They're proven and they've been winning on the road.
bit caught control freshmen game guys lost rest second thompson together
You had two freshmen (Hiram Thompson and Dominic Waters) in there together and we weren't able to rest some of the other guys and I think it caught up to us in the second half. I think we lost a little bit of control of the game right there at the end (of the first half).
