emotion good played score tough
I think Jeffers was just overwhelmed by the emotion of the evening. I've been on the other end of that and it isn't much fun. Jeffers is a pretty good team, much better than the score would indicate. If we played like that every night, we'd be pretty tough to beat.
blake both coming danny ends great handled job knew night
He did a great job on both ends of the floor. Danny Blake knew the double-team was coming all night long and he handled it well.
felt growing guy learning pains simon somewhat store
I would say it's been a learning process. We were somewhat inexperienced when we started the year. Simon Store was really the only guy back with a lot of experience, so I kind of felt there would be come growing pains and there have been.
double figures five guys score three tough
They had three in double figures and two more with seven, so they've got five guys who can score and that's tough to defend.
mark shoot simon
That's not like Simon to shoot like he did. But all of us were off the mark in this game.
credit good played
At times we can play well and at other times not so well. Tonight, we didn't play very well. But credit Ewen, they played very good basketball, especially in the first half.
gave harder options scoring shut
Their scoring gave us other options than Lindsey, so it was harder for them to shut her down.
beat boards
They were a little more efficient. They beat us on the boards pretty bad, 29-18.
bit few half missed played quite shots struggled throughout
Offensively we struggled a bit in the first half, but defensively we played well throughout the game. We missed quite a few shots in the first half we should have made.
ball defend handle hard turned zone
It's hard to defend that. We didn't handle their 1-3-1 zone and turned the ball over too many times.
ball defense handle kept nights offense scoring
Our defense has kept us in games. When we handle the ball and we're scoring regularly, we're competitive with pretty much everybody. But on those nights when the offense is kind of struggled, then it's tough.
dish drive hit
He would drive and dish off and they'd hit the shots.
rally second shot
They shot rally well in the second half.
bad defense played second
We had a bad second quarter, but we weren't out of it at halftime. Our defense played pretty well.
