great half knows missed proved season since
He's a great player. He missed the first half of the season for us. Since he's been back, he's been great. He's been a scorer his whole life. Once again, he proved that he knows how to score.
scoring shooting team
I think we're a better scoring team than we showed tonight. I know we're a better shooting team than we showed tonight.
exhausted
I'm happy, but I'm tired, exhausted and emotionally drained.
brian chance division good terrific
Brian Walsh is a very, very good player. He has a chance to be (an NCAA) Division I player. He has terrific skills.
exactly extremely night pull scares
It's exactly what we expected. It's extremely tough. It's not so much a one-game thing but the night-in, night-out that scares me. Before, you could have an off night and still pull out a win. Now, with an off night, you're done.
challenged expected good half played playing rest second tyler
I challenged him at halftime. Tyler played the second half the way I expected him to play the whole game, and the way I expect him to play the rest of these playoffs. He's too good not to be playing like that.
game played tremendous
Keir Jeter played a tremendous game tonight. He was awesome.
danny guards handle shoot
The thing I really like about Danny is he's very versatile. He can handle it and shoot it. He's not one-dimensional. A lot of guards can do one or the other. He's able to do both. That's what makes him a scholarship player.
confident defense definitely drive expected experience game guys kids might mind paid situation team took
I expected them to drive to the hoop. I think it might have been one of those instances where they were young kids and they have not been here before and they tensed up a little and took those 3-pointers. But, you look at that team and they are so well coached. My guys didn't mind being on defense at the end and I think they were confident and comfortable because they had been in that situation before. The experience of being in the championship game before definitely paid off for us.
biggest game margin played victory
The game with our biggest margin of victory was the championship game. Once we got back, they played without pressure.
effort game goals guys played ready season ups
This game was our season in a nutshell. Ups and downs, ups and downs. It's another down for us, but my guys played hard. The effort was there. If you set your goals high, you have to be ready for disappointment.
battle fight game hampton happy kids knew needed tough whatever
I was happy to be up 12 points. But, you know and I know that Hampton wasn't going to go away. Everyone knew they were going to battle back and be there at the end. They have tough kids and you knew they were going to fight back and do whatever they needed to do to be in that game at the end.
section win
We didn't win the section this year, and, after that, we set this as our goal.
bench help impose
We use our bench to help impose our will.
