caught defense fire half hold second switched
We caught fire in the second half and were able to hold the lead. We switched to a man-to-man defense and we were very unselfish.
emotion emotions fire playing rest teams
We need to play with fire and emotion for 32 minutes. It's a letdown to have the rest of the teams playing while we're eliminated, and it's not acceptable.
earn found nights scrap seniors stepped three tonight win
We found a way to scrap and win ugly. Two nights ago we were on fire, but tonight we had to earn some points. Our three seniors really stepped it up when we had an off night shooting.
district good solid
We'll get there. Right now with district starting, it's like we're 0-0. We just need a good solid 32 minutes.
composure handle hands minutes offense run work
We'll do a lot of press-breaking work this week. We'll have to be able to handle 32 minutes of pressure, and to keep our composure and still run our offense with hands in our face.
blink blown
We didn't blink in the first quarter, and we're down 5-0. It was never really a game; we were blown out from the start.
best district felt home playing quarters run team three win
We felt like the (University of New Mexico) Lobos, we just can't win on the road. Were playing a little better at home right now. To run with the best team in the district for three quarters and then you look up and you're down by 18 points? Wow.
defense face guard guys hard holding ourselves pressure work
We'll be doing a lot of press-breaking work this week. We'll be scrimmaging ourselves and holding each other accountable, and we may work on some defense because those guys will be hard to guard man-to-man. We'll have pressure in our face for 32 minutes.
ball continue games turn win
We must have had 30 turnovers tonight. We won't win many games if we continue to turn the ball over like that.
confidence games home hopefully loss momentum road rough talked three weeks winning
We talked a lot about how threes haven't been winning us ballgames. We've had a rough two weeks with three road games and a home loss to Grants, but hopefully we can take some momentum and confidence back to our home court.
definitely fans fire high hopefully passion road support top
I feel we're definitely one of the top 16; hopefully we'll go at least as high as 14. If we get another game, I hope our fans can go on the road and support us, and we'll need to play with fire and passion for 32 minutes.
felt scoring threat
I felt Antonio was the scoring threat we needed.
seem zone
I don't know what that was. Zone or man, it didn't seem to matter.
came emotional five four game good last late practices since week win
We chipped away a little late in the game. We had four or five good practices since our last game a week ago (an emotional win over Bernalillo), but we came out lethargic and flat.
