anyone compete games hate minutes mount teams type whenever
For 45 minutes of basketball, you have two teams that aren't going to give in to each other. It was one of those games where you just hate to see anyone lose. Whenever we play Mount Mercy, it's that type of game. Our teams compete like that.
bit expect game prepared switched team triangle tried veteran
They switched a lot more on defense, they tried to play a little more of a triangle game and there were things that we kind of prepared for but they used these new things a little bit more. When you have a veteran team like we do with a lot of seniors, you expect them to adapt.
gave happy lift proud script senior stepped struggling team
He'd been struggling and I'm so happy for the lift he gave this team as a senior in a championship game. You couldn't script it better than that. I'm so proud of the way he stepped up in this game.
bounce front good hit might questioned
You never know when it's off?balance. I had a pretty good look at it. The only thing I really questioned was I thought it might hit front rim and bounce back because it was pretty flat.
bit game gone group guys hopefully lack prouder top
We had never gone into the championship game having that lack of pressure. This makes it a little bit better. Hopefully it will get us a top 16 seed. Our guys battled so hard. I can't be prouder for a group than those guys.
