bad beat game hopefully practice second state system talked team tournament year
We talked about this being the team that beat us in the tournament at practice yesterday. Hopefully we got that bad game out of our system for the year in the second Kent State game.
discussion game issue practice ready road
We've never made (playing on the road) a big deal, so it's never become an issue with the kids. There's no discussion about where we're playing. It's just a road game and we just go to practice and get ready to play.
dressed enjoyed floor good kick players practice run serious
No one got hurt. They got to run up and down the floor and have some fun. The players enjoyed getting dressed up with the costumes. It was a good way to kick off practice and then get serious on what we need to do.
five gets overlooked people players playing points practice pushing reason rebounds sheet
You see the first five playing ... but the reason they're playing is the people in practice are pushing them hard. A lot of times it gets overlooked because all people see are points and rebounds on the stat sheet or in the newspaper. The practice players make us good.
dwell last percent practice saturday
We did not dwell on it. We're 80 percent in practice. I think last Saturday was just one of those games.
playing prove team
I think we've got something to prove to ourselves. That wasn't our team out there. We're playing a little better now.
defense quicker
We wanted to go to a smaller, quicker lineup to play man-to-man on defense and that got us back in the game.
adjustment beyond gives position putting rebounds score step
Pam rebounds for us, and I think with this adjustment we're putting her in a better position to score because she can step out beyond the arc. It gives her more flexibility.
family home needed priorities program school second situation
Our priorities for our program are your family comes first, school comes second and basketball's after that somewhere. This is a situation where she just needed to be back home for a little while and we did that.
control depend happens number
We can't control anything like that. A lot is going to depend on what happens with our RPI number and what happens with other teams.
allowed calm confidence defensive excited gave offense zone
I think our zone slowed them down, and allowed us to calm down. It gave our offense a little confidence because we were getting defensive stops. When we get stops, we get excited on offense.
bunch came chance deal desire five games last pull six together tonight win
We've been down before at the half, so it wasn't a big deal to us. Five of our last six games we've had a chance to win and didn't have the desire to pull it out. We were a bunch of individuals, but tonight we came together and were able to pull out a win.
executing five hopefully last peak tournament trying turned
We've been executing really well (the last five games). So hopefully we're getting things turned around at the right time. Like I told the kids, we're trying to peak for the tournament now.
afford dropped game gift lose wrapped
We gift wrapped this game and they dropped it. We can't afford to play like this (tomorrow) or we'll lose by 40.
