basically compete games hard motivate motivation playing
It was not necessarily a pretty game. It's a consolation game, but it's one of those games where motivation is kind of hard to find but your playing so you need to compete and motivate yourself. I thought we basically did the things you need to do to win.
ball chance course early game good job throughout
Real early in the ball game, I thought we did a real good job of establishing the inside. We'd go through spurts throughout the course of the game where we had a chance to use the big guys.
behind easy good job
We did a good job getting behind their defense. We were getting some easy baskets.
dug early hole night spent trying
We dug the hole early and just spent all night trying to play chase. We got it back at times where it was manageable, but we never got over the hump.
man pressured
I anticipated (playing man defense) was what they were going to do. They really come out and pressured us on the perimeter and we could not find our posts.
basically came looks needed ourselves points running settle settled sure tried
Basically what we needed to make sure we did was come down and settle ourselves down on offense. When we see them running points on us we came down and tried to get those points back, and that's when you need to be patient. I think we settled ourselves down and got some better looks to fend off the little run they made.
early forced fountain hot kids lake normally proud shots three
I was so proud of our kids to get back to where we were. Fountain Lake got hot from the three early and that forced us to take shots we normally wouldn't.
free good knew late lead needed ours plays shooting strength throws
Shooting free throws has been a strength of ours all year. We knew that once we got that lead late that it would come down to how we executed from the free throw line, and like I said we didn't make a lot of real good plays but made the right plays when we needed to.
motivational tough
It's tough to come back. But you've got to find motivation.
ball care good line took
We got to the line 20 times, made 17 of them or something like that. That was big for us to put it away late. They started charging at us but we took pretty good care of the ball and, again, executed at the free-throw line.
coming forward
We?re still in it. We look forward to coming back here.
bit bring early knew took
We knew they were going to bring pressure. Early on it took a little bit of adjustment, but once we made that we were fine.
advantage best effort game primary
Going into most every game we play, that will be one of our primary advantages. We've just got to really make an effort to use that advantage to the best that we can.
climb dug hole shots took
We took some shots we typically wouldn't. It snowballed on us and we got in a hole we dug and we never could climb back out of it.
