kids minutes played quarter six
In the first quarter for six minutes I thought we played good. I think that our kids thought 'this is going to be easy,' and kind of let up. You can't let up in the tournament.
double fourth game given happy kids played until
Our kids battled. I told the kids at the end of the game that I was happy they didn't give up. They could have given up when we were down double digits in the fourth quarter, but they played all the way up until the end.
playing task tough
I think you've still got to get through East, but North's been playing as well as anybody. It's a tough task this year.
blocking changes guy huge mike shots
Mike Richardson was huge for us. When you have a guy blocking shots like that, that changes the other team's complexion.
hit players shots teams
That's what big-time players do. They put teams on their shoulders, and he hit some big shots tonight.
east team
East is still the team to beat. It's going to be a challenge.
came looks second struggled turned
They really came out and turned it up defensively in the second half. We struggled to get any looks and the basket, and when we did, we couldn't finish.
alive attack ball banking guard hammer happen inside opportunity point
We don't want to live on the perimeter, we want to attack the inside and hammer on the boards. When you have a 6-4 point guard and two 6-3 swingmen, you have an opportunity to keep the ball alive and make some things happen inside, and that's what we're banking on.
bucket definitely fault fought good guys run stop
We went on a good run there, but we couldn't get that one big bucket or big stop that we needed. I definitely can't fault our guys though, they fought hard.
challenge couple few kept kids knew lead together
We made a few mini-runs that kept us in the lead ... our kids were able to put together a couple flurries. Those were important, because we knew it was going to be a challenge tonight.
build guys helped seniors win
What these seniors have done is impressive. I told these guys that it used to take, eight, nine, 10 years for T.J. to win 29 games, but these guys have helped build a foundation.
