against ball basketball bottom care concerned david decent everywhere hand inside jeff job needed number opportunity players post pressure steal touches
They put enough pressure on us around the perimeter that we couldn't get the ball inside. That was a big concern. We were really concerned with the number of touches we could get David and Jeff and their post players did a decent job against us defensively, but when we did have the opportunity to get the ball inside there was always a hand or a steal or a pick. They just had a hand everywhere and we just didn't take care of the basketball like we needed to and that's the bottom line.
against game good poorly rebound shot
Against a No. 1 seed, you've got to get off to a good start, and we did that. But (Hampshire) kind of got with their game and slowed it down on us. We shot poorly and couldn't rebound against their size.
against execute fourth hurt zone
That really hurt them a lot in the fourth quarter. We were able to execute better against their zone and we were more patient.
both came job ready teams
At halftime, we had to do something to put the clamps on them, and we did a much better job after that. Both teams came out really ready to play.
Come back in September. It'll be a different river.
cut hard moving
They know they're wanted -- they cut their straps -- (but) they're so hard to find because they keep moving to different locations.

We are extremely pleased with our team and feel very confident that we've put a solid group together that will best put us in a position to compete for the gold medal. The selection process was an extremely difficult one and that's a terrific statement for hockey in the United States. It means our talent pool in this country continues to grow.
along continues far five four gone handling hockey maybe months moving next practicing rehab side three weeks
He has rehabbed very well so far and if it continues the way it's going we're anticipating maybe practicing in the next four to five weeks with the team. And then we're probably still two or three months away from him playing. But we're just moving along and we're handling the hockey side of it. So far to date, his rehab has gone very well.
chance franchise gives next pieces position step
We've put a lot pieces in place this summer. The franchise is in position to take the next big step. Ilya gives us a better chance to take that step to go even further.
ball chris free game good missing nice obviously throw
It was big for us. Chris had a real good ball game tonight. He's kind of been missing out of our offense. So it was nice to have him back in it. He was 12 for 14 from the free throw line. That obviously was a big push.
basket blocked count seemed
It seemed like they blocked about 15 shots. We count on (Wesley) Harper and (Jonathan) Boyd to get to the basket on people, and they just couldn't get to the basket tonight.
At first it was just another neighbor. But now it's a whole different story.
good personally town
I'm for it in principle. I personally think it would be good for the town financially.
basket calling driving either game nobody
Part of our game is driving to the basket and I didn't think they were calling anything on drives, anything on either team. Nobody going to the basket ever got fouled.
