concerned finished needed picked strong third
I was more concerned about the (defensive) end of the floor. I don't know if we had the zip we needed in the third quarter, but we picked it up and finished strong defensively.
five played screaming spent time
We played like all five of us were sick. We were getting out-rebounded, out-hustled, out-everything, so I spent a lot of time screaming during our first timeout.
concerned played several
We played awful, I thought - just awful. Right now, I'm concerned about several things.
realized scoring standing
I realized he was scoring a lot, but not that many. It wasn't all just standing and shooting. He was working hard.
both ends excellent job played
He played great. He's pretty important to us, too. He did an excellent job on both ends of the floor.
badge character coaching good honor minutes played six
That's a badge of honor for our coaching staff. From six minutes on, I thought we played well defensively and showed good character on our part.
encouraged good obviously
They have two pretty good players, but we have two very good players. Hummel is obviously a very good player, and we encouraged him to do a little more shooting-wise.
ball fourth game guys hold lead obviously react time tried
It's obviously the first time our guys have been in a game in the fourth quarter. Did we react well? I don't know. We tried to hold the ball with a one-point lead and didn't do it.
enjoyed good happens
The good thing is we've enjoyed the season. We'll see what happens now in the postseason.
Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I disappointed in the kids? No.
believe game lose people
For all the people that think we should lose a game so we can be better in the (state) tournament, this is for them. I don't believe that.
eight games guys might nine seven suited
It's been pretty remarkable. We've had seven or eight games where all the guys who've suited up scored. We might only have nine in those games, but they're doing something.
against best defensive effort good low post quite shots
That was the best defensive effort we've had against us that I can think of. We didn't quite have our way in the low post as we have all year. We didn't get a lot of good looks, and when we got good looks, we didn't make them. Shots that we made all year, we missed.
came defended good job kids kyle martin quarter tough
Martin did a good job on Novak, and we defended Bradford pretty well. Our kids really came to play in the first quarter ... and with Kyle back that really makes us tough to defend.
