addressing areas conference exploit god grace last near nowhere played starting teams undefeated vulnerable weakness
We're nowhere near where we were last year. By the grace of God and only by his grace that we were undefeated in this conference and it showed tonight; we're very vulnerable in a lot of different areas and teams are starting to exploit our weakness and hopefully, we can get back to addressing our weaknesses. We're nowhere near the number-one team in the conference, especially the way we played tonight.

He was young at the time, and drugs and alcohol played a part in that offense.
defensive effort felt game needed passion played pleased second type
I felt we played the type of game we needed to in this conference. We played with more passion in the second half. I was pleased with the defensive effort all night.
ball hard played points team type
It's so hard being down 12-14 points the way we play. We are not a team that is going to come back from that type of deficit. We played catch-up the whole ball game.
anytime caused defensive game intensity level minutes score shots team
I thought their defensive intensity in the first 11 or 12 minutes caused us a lot of problems. We didn't make shots and pretty much got away from our game plan. Anytime you play a team at this level and only score 13 points, you're not going to give yourself much of a chance.
chemistry exactly halftime
We do it to try to set a tone. If you get the right chemistry and combinations, we know at halftime exactly what we're up against.

Kids who come here, I see them grow. My philosophy is not winning and losing. When I see a kid like Tracey, it puts this job in perspective.

My reward is that I can touch their life.

That was tough during our championship year. He realized his chances of playing at another level will be extremely tough, but his education is in the palm of his hands.
associated chance half last playing second start worst
That was the worst second half I've ever been associated with. If we don't start playing better, we won't have a chance to get where we were last season.
across beat facing hard obstacles program simply
We were simply beat by a better team, a better program across the board. Facing those obstacles, it's hard to overcome.
seen sound stretch
We were as fundamentally sound defensively during that stretch as I've ever seen us.
deal feels great remorse sorrow
He feels a great deal of remorse and sorrow for what he did.
driving finally focus gotten guys teams tough
We've finally got some guys back there who are tough mentally. We've gotten these big interceptions when teams have been driving on us. We've been tired, but we've been able to focus and concentrate.
