focus fought good grew guys obviously players season seniors various wrong
I think when you have a season like this you have to focus on the good things we did this season. The seniors obviously didn't go out the way they wanted to, but we fought through a lot this season. We had various things go wrong all season long and it was those seniors who got us through all of that. These guys grew as players this season and they grew as men.
against expect gave quality run team
We gave it a run late, but you have to play all 32 minutes. You can't have a let down against a quality team like that and expect to win.
good hitting match offense shooting tired weapons
We were tired and they started hitting shots. They're a good shooting team, they have a lot of weapons on offense and we didn't match up well with that.
bench best box east few good kids played players shoot short team
We had a short bench today, and I think that got the best of us. We were without a few players we thought we'd have. When you get tired, you can't box out as well, you don't shoot as well. But the kids played hard. That's a good Belleville East team over there.
against bunch friday good minutes pay played problem quality shots stretch tuesday year
We've had that that problem all year long. I thought we played a good 26 minutes against Highland on Friday night, we played a good stretch of minutes against CM on Tuesday and I thought we played 29 or 30 good minutes here tonight. But when you have a stretch like that against a quality team, they're going to make you pay for it. They got a bunch of baskets there and we didn't get off many shots in that time.
gave minutes stopped work worked
We outscored them and outplayed them for 26 minutes tonight. Then we stopped doing what worked and started doing the things that don't work and we gave up a big run.
against ball compete conference continue evident excited good inside points post starting success team title today watch
I think what we're starting to see with our team is what we can do when we get the ball in the post. I thought that was evident today against a really good team. We had good success inside and got a lot of points off a very good defense. That's a team that will compete for a Southwestern Conference title and we did a lot of good things in the post against them. That's really got me excited to watch it continue to come along.
foul gave great half minutes nice
He gave some great minutes in the first half when we were in foul trouble. It was nice for him to get out there and contribute.
energy game hard kids played season shame tonight
The kids played awfully hard tonight. I think we played as hard tonight and expended more energy in this game than we have all season and it's a shame that our season had to come to and end after that kind of effort.
game hard lack lose overcome worked
This is a very frustrating loss. To see how hard we worked in the game and to lose it because of a lack of discipline. It's really frustrating that we can't overcome that.
against athletes athletic ball best bunch drivers drove games gets good head heck hitting ran score shots starts tonight
Galloway is a heck of a ball player. We ran a bunch of very good athletes at him tonight and he still made athletic shots. We had our best jumpers and drivers on him and he jumped and drove around them to score baskets. When he starts off hitting some shots and gets it in his head that he's on that night, he's very dangerous. He had two very good games against us this year.
