charles dribble drive four game happy heads job last minutes north putting taking terrific
I wasn't happy with the last four minutes of the game (for us). Give St. Charles North credit. They did a terrific job of putting their heads down and getting to the basket. We need to do a better job of taking away dribble drive penetration.
defend four game last lost minutes rebound shot won
Everyone will look at the last shot that didn't go for us that would've won it. But we lost the game in the last four minutes when we couldn't defend or get that big rebound to keep them at arm's length.
chance floor fourth overtime press racing send track transition
(The fourth quarter) wasn't a track meet. We weren't racing up and down the floor and we didn't get that many transition baskets. We didn't press and they didn't press. We had a chance to send it to overtime all the way to the end.
bench words
We used words like monumental, gigantic. He was really big off the bench for us.
came charles free house knew recipe terrific
(St. Charles North) had a terrific recipe for a comeback. They were in the bonus, we were fouling them and they were making their free throws. We knew they weren't going to go away, so to their credit, they came back like a house of fire.
behind took
That was an old-fashioned butt-whipping. They took us behind the woodshed and let us have it.
job
That's uncharacteristic of us. We've been doing a better job from the free-throw line.
asked happy kid michael pace task youngest
I was real happy with the way Michael set the pace (of the game). We've asked him to do that for us and he's been getting it done. That's a big task to ask when you're the youngest kid on the floor.
fight game liked lost midway passion played second
I think we lost the game midway through the second quarter. But I liked our second-half intensity. I thought we got back into the fight and we played with a lot of intensity. We played with a lot of passion and it mattered.
defensive lost mark rebound stop
We couldn't get a stop or a defensive rebound from about the three-and-a-half-to-four-minute mark down, and that's where we lost the game.
behind business care guys next opportunity regional regular
We really want to (put this behind us). We want to take care of business in our next two ballgames on our regular schedule. Then we have an opportunity with the regional here for our guys to play on their floor, and that's special.
best ourselves position respect
We have a lot of respect for them, and we know what they have accomplished this year, ... we're going to get at it and put ourselves in as best as a position as we can on (Friday).
against defense good last offensive played potent seven six tonight
We played as good a defense tonight as we have played in the last six or seven games, in my opinion, against a very potent offensive team.
character guys hard integrity losing picked program rather seniors shoulders
It's hard to say good-bye to seniors who have picked your program up and put it on their shoulders and do it with the integrity and character that they did. Losing is losing, but I'd much rather keep these guys around.
