great john wise
Wise is a great player. John (Roberson) is too.
advantage bit joe john
I thought we may have had a little bit of an athleticism advantage -- Joe and John are pretty athletic.
ball basketball focus hands john maturity social teach until
John has that focus you can never teach in 1,000 years. We'll put the ball in his hands from now until he graduates. His basketball and social maturity is unbelievable.
attempted chances defense faces few half hand hurting john played second shot west
We shot better in the first half, but played better defense in the second. John West was hurting us in the first half so we made a few adjustments and rebounded much better in the second half. We didn't let him get many second chances in the second half and we put a hand in their faces when they attempted three-pointers, too.
game home lose win
Tuesday's game is huge. Not only did we lose the first time, we're also at home this time. We need to win our home games.
along brought bunch coached coaches dream floor game glad great players state tournament year
Every year I come to the state tournament and dream about what it would be like to be down there on the floor as a coach. There are a bunch of great coaches who have never coached a game on that floor. I think all the coaches are just glad they brought us along for the ride. These are great players making this happen.
against bad chance defending disney mixed perfect win
We have a chance to win our first championship against the defending champion. It's the perfect storybook script. It's a bad Disney movie. Its 'Miracle on Ice' and 'Rookie of the Year' all mixed into one. They wouldn't film something like that. I'll film the documentary.
against history rather success
I don't know that history will play into it. They probably know all that stuff. We do feel like we've had a lot of success against them. At first I didn't like having to play them in the semifinal, now I think I'd rather play them right away.
affected ball came floor gym shocked surprised
I'd be really surprised if they came out wide-eyed. The floor is still the same length. It is still a gym with two baskets and the ball is still the same shape. I'd be shocked if it affected our guys.
asleep people putting
We're not consistently putting people asleep when we need to.
complain playing
We're playing in the semifinals and you can't complain about that.
decided
That's their deal. They decided to do it.
along blossoming both jessica jimmy joe superstar
Jimmy was a blossoming superstar at Plano East. Jessica had to live up to him. Then Joe comes along and has to live up to both of them.
basketball both north northern river sold speaks suburban teams
I think sometimes basketball teams north of the Trinity River are sold short. It speaks well of both teams. It speaks well of northern suburban basketball.
