ball early game happened hard keys poor shoot shooting time turning
That's not the way we scripted the game to start. It just snowballed from there. One of the keys was for us to shoot the ball well early so we didn't have that self-perpetuating problem. This has happened to us before where we get off to a poor shooting start, and we really have a hard time turning the tide.
game huge matter program slice step turn
It's a huge win, no matter how you slice it. This game doesn't turn our program around, but it's a step in the right direction.
against basketball free glass good high junior mattered observer outside people played road shot sound sure team throw tough turned
This will sound a little strange, but we did not play good basketball tonight. I'm sure that the outside observer will say they really played tough against a top-ranked team on the road and blah, blah, blah. We turned it over 20 times. We were not able to keep people off the glass when it mattered most. And we shot like a junior high team from the free throw line.
couple goes win
It goes without saying, you have to win. You have to win more than one of them. You have to win a couple of them.
hole seems
It always seems to be the hole in the dike.
clearly good shooting
We clearly can not be described as a good shooting team. I think that's obvious.
continue dominant effort himself post team teammates
That was a team effort to make him more forceful. His teammates had to play a part in that, to continue to look into the post every time. To Ian's credit, he re-established himself as a dominant center. He was too much for them to handle.
feels four three win
It feels good. Not just to win three in a row, but to win four out of five.
guys life
It doesn't have a life of its own. You guys can write about it. But it's been weird.
behind defensive games good putting quality
We're not putting this one behind us. I'm not so into the standings and all of that. I'm into the quality of play, and for two games in a row, our defensive quality of play was not good enough.
designed great player
Tommie didn't get a great shot. There's a great player that made a great play. It wasn't a great designed play. He just made it work.
became fan fun
Wow. From my vantage point, that was fun to watch. I became a fan there for a while. He was really spectacular.
easier free hard paid whenever
Whenever you have a five-man that makes free throws, it makes it a lot easier because he's going to get fouled the most. He's been working hard and it's paid off for him.
adult playing shots
He was like an adult playing with kids. He was getting shots for different kids.
