best hard importance talk team
We are at our best when we have that balance. We always talk about the importance of being a team. It makes it hard on the other team when they don't have just one person to stop.
best court half shot tempo wait
We want it to be up tempo with our athletes. We try to be up tempo and get up and down the court. In the half court set we have not always executed well. Some times we don't wait for the best shot but take the first shot. If we can get down the court in a hurry, we are better off.
both easy inside shooting shots strength struggled teams
We didn't want to give up anything easy on the inside. Both teams struggled shooting the ball. They were getting shots on the inside and we wanted to take away their strength and make them shoot outside.
ball defense finally finding finish half matter patient ready second shoot shots start time trying ugly ways
We were finally able to finish one at the end of the game. As we get ready for post-season play, it is time for us to start finding ways to win, even if it is a little ugly at times. We did not shoot the ball very well in that first half (7-for-31). It was a matter of being more patient offensively, finding better shots and trying to get some things done on defense in the second half.
