attention basketball few focused games guys last rectify shooting shot wearing
I don't know what has transpired the last few games - the way he has shot the basketball, he's not shooting as well. I don't know if it's more attention being focused on him with those other guys being out that's wearing on him. I don't know, but we have to rectify it.

Chris is our three-point shooter from the post position. I don't want to say he has the green light from there, but he's capable of shooting it.

It was a gritty effort by both teams, but hitting those three-pointers was the difference for us. Tonight, we did a horrendous job of finishing at the basket. We were fortunate to shoot such a high percentage in three-pointers.

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.

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.

We're very fortunate. We're very happy to win this game and walk out of here with a win in double-overtime.

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.

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.
basketball daniel difference efficient good kid moments nice played player players senior state
Boy, he was just an efficient basketball player as a senior. And when you think back on some of the really good senior players who have played in Madison, you think of those moments where a kid like Wilkinson is really in a nice state of mind. That's the difference in Daniel Horton.
