respond superman three
Every three was a dagger. There was no way we could respond to that. He was Superman tonight.
behind brought buried feet four line three zone
That was huge. We were in a zone and he brought them back. He was three or four feet behind the line and he buried them.
challenged except interior positive step stride
I think we made a positive stride in how we played. We challenged every pass. If we make some of those interior shots, things go the other way. It was a step in the right direction, except for the fouling. We know that.
basket breaking felt foul huge key next point
We were up one and we got a rebound. But they got a key steal, basket and foul shot. That was a huge turnaround. Then, they got another three-point play and next thing you know, we're down five. We felt that was the breaking point of the game.
across advantage bigger coach corey except huge kid looked small
We outsized them so we had to use that as an advantage. At one point, he (Fenton coach Dennis Cromer) went with that small lineup. I looked across (the court) and every kid we had out there was bigger (than them) except Corey (Murtaugh). That's a huge advantage.
defense far feed takes
We're going to go as far as our defense takes us. They don't want to let each other down and just feed off each other.
develop mean
We've always been able to score. We've got to more defensive-minded. We've got to develop that mean streak.
guards open point shoot worked
He never had it, but he's really worked on it. We told him, all of our point guards can shoot. If it's an open look, we want him to shoot it.
proud
We're proud of everything they've given. Not just tonight, but what they've done for our program.
anytime breaking great guys lane shots
Guys have to come through. Those are great shots. Those are shots that we want. Anytime you get into the lane like that, it's breaking down their defense. We just have to finish, go to the line.
chip gets problems starting
He was young and he had some problems. Now, he's starting to get that chip (on his shoulder). Once he gets that chip, I think he's really going to take off.
feeling five good last teams walking year
We got 16th place last year and we weren't walking out of there feeling too good about ourselves. Last year, there were five top-25 teams there. This year, we're all about the same.
felt fourth game good
We felt good going into the fourth quarter. That's (down 42-37) where we wanted it to be. We did not want this game to get in the 70s.
chances eight forced four minutes
You get forced to take chances when you're down six, eight with four minutes to go.
