ball best except floor free missed people player plays
Koop, I felt, was the best player on the floor except for the missed free throw. He got the ball to people and he made some plays himself.
chase decided great guards heard helped leave player uncovered
It's great to have a player come off the bench, that no one has ever heard of, and have him play great. They decided they were going to leave one of our guards uncovered and he made his shots. That helped chase them out to the perimeter.
best cover gets guard nobody players since sophomore team top
Since he's been a sophomore he's had to guard the top players on every team and nobody gets the best of him. And when other players on the team get beat, Tanner is always there to cover up for them.
answering kids runs
With experienced kids like Gregory and Koop on the floor, they do the things they need to do. It's not about answering runs to me; it's just about making plays.
controlled deserved forcing
We'll take the win, but I think Orem deserved it as much or more than we did. They controlled much of the game, forcing us to play in their backyard, so to speak.
chance good might second
We still had a good chance there at the end to win, and if we would have had one more second we might have won.
knew region teams thinks win
Going in, I knew we had to win this game. Now I can look at it a little more politically. But everyone in this region thinks they can win on the road. The teams are too good.
overall sure tempo transition
We got some turnovers that were big. I'm sure we got the most transition hoops, but the tempo overall was set by Orem.
good might region three tie
We're the region champs right now. We might tie for it, but everyone else has at least three losses. We feel good about that.
attacking executing grown needed tonight
We weren't executing the things that I thought we needed to execute. We weren't attacking as well as we needed to. Other times we've started that way, then grown into it. Tonight we didn't.
best defender gets nobody position post state
Nobody gets position on him inside. If he's not the best post defender in the state then I don't know who is.
bench heard kid nice
Isn't it nice to have a kid come off the bench you've never heard of?
awake enjoy few final fun game hours learned thinking today tried won
I've been here a few times and it's fun to be here and I've learned the few times I haven't won the championship to enjoy the moment. I've tried to enjoy getting to the final four. I tried to enjoy that for the two hours I was awake today without thinking about the game and I'm going to try and do the same thing.
region teams
The teams in our region know he is a shooter, but I don't know if the teams up here do.
