came great guys morning night played record remember turn whenever
This was a great night for these kids. We told them (Saturday) morning that 15, 20 years from now, nobody's going to remember who they played or what their record was, but these guys are going to remember that they came here and played. Whenever we get the invitation, we won't turn it down.
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.
defensive excellent job keeping length looked scoreboard series stops time
Every time I looked at the scoreboard even after a series of defensive stops we were always down by 10 points. Batavia just has so much depth, and they did an excellent job of keeping us at arm's length all night.
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.
chop felt last seconds time
We wanted to chop up those last 16 seconds with some fouls. We felt Gabe (Landau) got one at the time line, but it wasn't called. So (Henderson) penetrated and got right down the lane.
hardly trace tried
We tried to get Shaun involved. In the first half, there was hardly a trace that he even played.
collapsing free people scoring start touches
We have got to get him touches at the basket. Everything we do has to start in his hands. Even when he's not scoring with a drop-step or a hook, people are collapsing on him and that's going to free up Brandon and Gabe for some jump-shot opportunities.
ability gates knock punch quarter served several teams
Batavia has the ability to come out of the gates and knock you out. They've served the knockout punch several times in the first quarter and teams haven't been able to counter.
safe
Nothing is for sure, but I would say that's a safe bet.
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.
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.
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.
