consistent continue focused good kids lawrence understand
Lawrence is a very good team. They are well coached. But it's a lot about us. If we continue to play like we've been playing, I like our chances. The kids understand the need to be consistent and focused mentally.
double easy letting tried
We tried to double him and that didn't work. We were too easy on him, too soft. We were letting him get the ball.
against dominant good north player seen similar tape transition
I've seen them on tape against Carthage. They are a good team. They're well coached. They like the transition game. They are very similar to North Central. I don't know if they have a dominant player like (Anthony) Simmons, but they have some really good players.
easiest fish guy hit hung played proud shots
Fish hit some shots with confidence. I'm very proud of the way he played tonight. Fish will be the first one to tell you sometimes I'm not the easiest guy to play for. He hung in there and persevered.
foul inside
We wanted to go inside and we got them in foul trouble. We thought we executed pretty well for the most part.
athletes best good great guard point
We get up and down the floor. We've got some very good athletes for our level. We've got great size. We have the best point guard in the country.
control favorites losing mercy teams winning
I don't think you can think that way. The only thing we can control is to win. If we don't win, we're at the mercy of other teams losing or favorites winning (across the country).
screens switched work
We made a little adjustment. We switched off on screens on him. We made him work for all his shots.
bad four three took
We had three or four possessions up two and we didn't score. That's the game. We couldn't make lay-ups, we didn't execute, we took bad shots.
beating capable chance four good left means national proud team teams three win
This team should be very proud of what they have accomplished so far, but by no means should we be satisfied. We're one of four teams left with a chance to win the national championship. If we play like we're capable, we're capable of beating anybody. But there are three other really good teams there other than ourselves.
anyone beat challenged guys pressure run shoot
We wanted to put more pressure on the ball. We let them run their offense. I challenged our guys at halftime. I told them you're not going to beat anyone if you let them shoot 73 percent.
great mentally physically players
I've got great players and great kids. They were physically exhausted, but they battled through it. We were dragging. We were physically and mentally tired.
clean forward good kids looking season starting
It's another opportunity. The kids should be excited. We're looking forward to a clean slate. We're starting over. It's a new season with 59 good teams.
hard lawrence system whale
It should be a whale of a game. Lawrence is very, very good. They play a system that's very hard to play against.
