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.
achieve boys goals happy hard mark worked
It was one of our goals to get to the 20-win mark and I was really happy for the boys that they were able to get that done. They worked real hard to achieve that.
admirable good guard hard job knocked plain plays recover season teams time work
You have to be able to make good plays on just about every possession. They don't get rattled. So many times this season they've knocked teams out in the first quarter. Teams have to work so hard to recover from that. By the time they do that, the game's over. Those are things we have to guard against. We've done an admirable job of that the first two times, but it wasn't enough, plain and simple.
hardly trace tried
We tried to get Shaun involved. In the first half, there was hardly a trace that he even played.
basketball effort game great hard knew loss offensive respect walk
After the effort we gave, it makes it hard (after a game like this). It's hard to walk away with a loss when you give it your all, but we knew who we were playing. We respect them and we know they're a great offensive basketball team. We've got to get better.
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.
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.
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.
