We hope so. Chris being a senior more than anything else, that's what we need, senior play. That doesn't just equate to offensive play. We need senior play, senior players.
achievement deserving focused honored hopefully moment road stay traveled
I think for the road we've traveled this is a significant achievement for our kids. The way we've been able to get to this moment has been to stay focused and take things as they come. Hopefully they will feel honored and deserving and keep it in perspective.
along concerns confident feeling focus given good group guys hopeful maintain push step trappings
There are trappings in every step along the trail. Concerns over complacency or (being) overconfident and feeling too good about yourself. But I'm hopeful and I'm very confident given the group that we have that these guys are going to maintain their focus and their hunger. They'll push forward.
beaten couple hope lucky miss people performance seen shots side
You have to be disciplined, you have to be tough, and sometimes you have to be a little lucky and hope sometimes he's going to miss a couple of those shots. We've seen him before where he's made a lot of those shots and beaten a lot of people by himself. Fortunately for us, we had that performance on our side tonight.
best chance home hopeful losing obviously opportunity playing prepared ready side sitting slide
Going there, obviously for them to probably have a chance to get off the losing slide there in the conference, the home opportunity ? the best opportunity if you're sitting in their seat, their side of the street. We're playing for a lot of things ourselves. I'm hopeful that we are able to be healthy, be ready and be prepared to go after it (tonight).
allow hopefully opportunity week work
Hopefully this is a week that will allow us the opportunity to work on fundamentals.
environment hopeful hungry lead order rely seniors sure
I'm hopeful our seniors can lead us in this environment, and so in order to do that, I'm going to rely on them to make sure we're ready, we're hungry and we're going to go after it.
anyone concerned felt figure lead owed
We felt we owed it to them - that we were going to go as they go. They were going to lead this. And I wasn't concerned about anyone but our seniors. Everyone else had to figure it out and get on board.
break brought certainly defend defense missed ordinarily shots together tried turn
We certainly tried to turn it up. They missed some shots they would ordinarily make. I thought we brought our defense together where we'd be able to defend and not break down.
game happy walk win
We're very fortunate. We're very happy to win this game and walk out of here with a win in double-overtime.
anyone challenge conference daunting four games gone league row three win year
The way our league has been all year it would be a daunting challenge for anyone (to win four games in four days). It's a daunting challenge to win three in a row in this conference the way things have gone this season.
pleased worked
We didn't panic. I was pleased with how we methodically worked our way back.
ball critical late trying
We had some critical turnovers late in the game, and some of those were when we were trying to get the ball to Courtney.

Boy, is he a tough player. He was relentless, he scored inside out.
