bad credit decisions hole ok ourselves played poorly shot solid start
We never should have put ourselves in that big of a hole to start with. We played so poorly offensively. Give Ozark credit because they played solid defense. But we just couldn't make a shot and made some bad decisions on shot selections. Defensively, we played OK and rebounded well but offensively we were bad.
changing start
You don't start changing things. You just have to go do the things you have done.
bang coming double match people post practice week work
We haven't had a big bruiser that can bang around like that in a while. We can match up in the post better now. In the past, we've had to work in practice every week on coming off of people to double down on the post.
came care early high intensity lead level nice playing smart strong taking time
We've done that a lot this year. We came out strong early and got the lead and it was a nice time to do it. Our intensity level was really high and we were playing smart and taking care of the ball.
decided five inside motion past pick ryan spots ton worked year
We've worked Dennis inside a lot in the past but got away from it this year because we've got two other posts. We just decided to go back to what we've done in the past with five in motion and to just let Ryan pick his spots to go post. He was able to do it and he scored a ton inside tonight.
ball came caused defense easy led played shot
We came out and got some easy baskets off our transition. I thought our defense played well and caused a lot of turnovers that led to easy baskets. I thought we shot the ball well, too.
purpose
It's all about having fun. But you still are going down there for a purpose and that is to try to win.
decisions good help last playing reason shots throwing whatever year
It's not like he's throwing up 30 shots a game. He's making good decisions and doing whatever he can to help this team. He's a big reason we're playing as well as we are. He's playing like it's his last year and playing really well.
happens hope seemed state
It seemed like there was a lid on that thing. But that happens sometimes. You just hope it doesn't happen in the state tournament.
ball care late needed overall shots win
Those were big-time shots and we battled and battled. But overall we didn't take care of the ball or do the things late that we needed to do to win Ozark did.
defending far good rebound team
We didn't rebound as good as I'd like, but I thought as far as defending on and off the ball, we did pretty well. For the most part, it was a pretty good team effort.
eight guys hard lose nine step
We play eight or nine players, so I'll think we'll be OK. We'll lose some scoring, but these things happen. Other guys will just have to step up. We'll play hard and see what happens.
lucky throw
Actually, I thought I was going to throw up. We got lucky, but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
best played
Theo has really played well. He's one of our best defenders.
