growing pains team
We are a young team and there will be growing pains but we will get better.
darn defense good hold nearly night played points team
We played pretty darn good defense all night long. You hold a team to nearly 20 points under their average, you've got to be doing some things right.
anyone beat best good inside outside played seen teams
If we had played our best game, we probably still wouldn't have won. As long as they have the inside and outside going like they did today, I don't know if anyone can beat them. UND has had a lot of good teams over the years, but I don't know if I've ever seen a better one.
ball conference couple defense hard hold kids played shooting team trouble
A couple of our perimeter kids are having trouble shooting the ball right now. They'll have to shoot better when we play the conference teams. I thought our defense played pretty well the whole game. It's hard to hold a team to 50 points.
believe bit defense good helping offense players playing supposed team
We have been playing good team defense. The players are really helping each other out defensively and doing the things we are supposed to be doing. If we get a little bit of offense to go with our defense, we really believe that we can play with any team in that region.
again answer executing four good minutes next played problems quick score several six supposed teams
That's what good teams are supposed to do, especially when they're at home. Good teams always have an answer when they're at home. We had four quick points, and then we didn't really score again for the next several minutes. They really played well for about six minutes there in the first half, and we had some problems executing on our end.
bats beat close games gave guys league played position swinging wayne
I thought we played really well all day long. To play them as close as we did in two games gave us some confidence. Wayne is 19-1 in the league and we were right in position to beat them twice. We had some guys swinging the bats well.
certainly
It certainly didn't feel like a 10-point win, I can say that.
defend inside outside
You just can't defend inside and outside at the same time.
caught easy executing flashes game good great job offense overhead physical plan switching
Winona's a physical team. But I thought we had a good game plan going in. They like to do a lot of switching and we caught them a lot on flashes going to the basket. We scored some easy baskets on overhead lobs, and we did a great job of executing our offense the way we wanted to.
free good half hardly key lead line second shoot throws time
It (foul trouble) may have been a key in the second half. But we didn't shoot hardly any free throws in the first half. The second half they had more fouls than we did. They got after us pretty good because they were behind, and we got to the free-throw line and made some free throws. Obviously, any time you've got the lead and you make free throws, it's big.
hard hits scoring time
We didn't get a lot of hits and didn't get a lot of scoring opportunities. When we did get runners, we had a hard time scoring them.
four free hard needed shots stretch swing technical time
We only made two out of the four technical free throws. So it wasn't like it was a six-point swing or anything. They just had a hard time making shots after that and we executed down the stretch and did the things we needed to do to win the game.
job nice pitching save throwing trying
We're trying to save as much pitching as we can. He did a nice job of throwing strikes.
