ball brought certainly foul great hitting honor proud sharing
It's a great honor. I am certainly very proud of him and what he has brought to this team. He is rebounding, sharing the ball and hitting foul shots. I am so proud of how he has improved.
brings people
What he brings is so important to our team. He is doing things that other people can't do.
counting defend good guys plenty shots smart
They have athletes, they have shooters, they play really smart basketball, they take good shots and they defend hard. I'm really counting on (our) guys to get plenty of rest.
picks runs
Anthony is our motor. He runs the show and when he picks it up, everything rolls.
built countless crushed effort good jump open pressure program shots
They were getting countless open jump shots and our pressure was not very good at all. We got crushed on the boards. It all comes down to effort and that's why those are the two things we've built our program on. We didn't give that effort.
allowed foul found group guys handle men picked proud pulled situation together
Our group of men pulled together and found a way to handle their pressure. They picked up their pressure; they were scramble-trapping us and rotating and our guys found a way to handle it with Anthony in foul trouble. I was very proud of the way our guys pulled together in that situation and allowed us to keep the lead.
ball capability good shoot win
Overall, it was a good win for us because the ball wasn't falling. We didn't shoot to our capability so it was good to see us shoot well from the free-throw line.
certainly excited game good great honor last mount proud season since third week
He had a great game at Mount Olive, and another good one last Saturday. For him to get a third player-of-the week honor is certainly something to be proud of. I am proud of him, especially since the season is not over. I am tremendously excited for him.
guys telling time
What I keep telling my guys is to take it one day at a time and get better.
below best coach games good guess looked people season size team wonder
People have looked at our size all season and wonder how we got here and how we won 28 games. We're not going to look good in an airport. One coach called us the best below the rim team he'd ever seen, so I guess we're not all that athletic.
anybody beat certainly felt given hoped league team victory
I just felt like we didn't play as a team. It was a very disappointing loss. I don't want to take anything away from Limestone because they're a team that can beat anybody in our league on any given night. But certainly it's discouraging to me because we'd hoped we'd go down there and get a victory for Barton College.
grateful players proud successful thankful
But I am very grateful and thankful for how successful we've been. I am proud of some of the young players ? we have so many new, young players on this team.
anytime build certainly chance confidence game high imagine normal win
Anytime you can not play your normal game and still have a chance to win at the end, really has to do a lot to build your confidence. Certainly I would imagine that our guys' confidence is high right now going into this.
lead nice played proud slack sustained
I'm really proud of our team. We played right from the get-go. We got a nice lead and we sustained that lead. We didn't slack off.
