chad found free glad good job misses missing odds overcame percent rebounds shooting shot third throws time types year
Chad is shooting 75 percent on the year and I told him before he shot the third one the odds of him missing was zero. He did, but we did a good job of getting rebounds off of those misses and I am glad we overcame those types of things. You are going to miss free throws from time to time, but we still found a way to win.
downs game gone mentally regional season seems starting stretch strong team ups
Down the stretch we could have folded. I like where we are at mentally right now. We are starting to get very, very tough. We have gone through a lot of ups and downs this season and it seems like every game is a regional championship atmosphere. That is going to make us a strong team down the stretch.
capitalize defense definitely factor great offensive pace played score
I thought we played great defense in the first half. But what we didn't do was capitalize on that on the offensive end. Because of that we didn't get the score up like we wanted to. The pace was definitely a pace that Orion wanted and it was a big factor in the game.
chad close free game
The game wouldn't have been that close if we would have been able to make some free throws. We made them when we had to with Chad and Brandon at the end.
awesome changed defense energy games momentum opposite played prior trap
In the two games that we played them prior to tonight, our man-to-man defense was better than our trap. But it was just the opposite tonight. Our trap and our energy we had with it was just awesome and it changed the momentum of the game.
caused change energy level picked point switched
We switched defenses and the change caused Galva some trouble. Our energy level picked up at that point in the game.
forces four game position
When you put yourself in the position to have to come back like that it forces your hand. You have to make every play and you can't make a mistake. But the story of this game was told in the first four minutes.
