continue game outcome tournament
The outcome of the game is important for us to continue to play well. Sometimes seeding for a tournament can be deceptive.
ball tried
We tried to go over ball screens, we tried to go under ball screens, we tried to go through ball screens. We tried everything.
finishing seniors solid team
The seniors have been real solid as we have been finishing up the year. Our whole team has been focused.
ball half move reverse screening second shot
The second half was pretty much the reverse of the first half. Our screening wasn't as good, we didn't move the ball as well and shot 5-for-20 (from the field).
ball care challenge contest easy sure
We are going to have to contest their shooters and challenge their shots. We'll also need to make sure we take care of the ball and not give them any easy baskets.
complete half passing screening second shots tough
That was a tough second half for us. Our screening and passing weren't there, and our shots weren't falling. It's like the second half was a complete reversal of the first.
ball basketball defensive focused good half job moved open played screens
We played a very focused and energized first half of basketball. We did a really good job on the defensive end, moved the ball offensively and set really good screens to get us some open looks.
against defense gets loose offensive prevent
We have to prevent Youngblood from rebounding on the offensive boards. He gets to a lot of loose balls, and we need to play better on-the-ball defense against him.
half last less three
We had done well in the turnover department. We had 10 or less in the last three games, but the first half made the difference. We had to continually try to come back.
eight focused hottest row shoot team won
Toledo is the hottest team in the league. They have won eight in a row and shoot real well. They are going to be a big challenge. We are going to need a very focused effort.
guys morning senior special sure
Senior day is really a special day. I could tell at our morning shoot-around that these guys were really focused. Everyone went out there and made sure that NIU would get the win.
cut effort factor fantastic fought half hard key pressure second
We had a fantastic effort in the second half and we fought hard just to come back. Toledo put on a lot of pressure in the first half, but we were able to cut down our turnovers in the second, which has been a key factor for us all year.
certainly difficult ending
It was certainly a difficult ending to that game.
bad ben benefit consistent hopeful last recover several team
We feel bad for Ben because his consistent play has been a real benefit to our team the last several games. It's unfortunate, but we're hopeful that he'll recover quickly.
