climb deal good great hard lost mountain played program team tough
I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.
experience played
I thought he played pretty well the whole game. We went with our experience and that's what we've been doing all season. This was nothing unusual.
bad basketball focal force game guards lets nice played player rarely smith starts steps steve whenever
Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.
allow great kept major percentage played pressure role shot situations sort sure
We just wanted to make sure that we kept great pressure on them. We made sure we put them in situations that they had to make plays. We did not allow them to get into any sort of rhythm. It played a major role in why they shot the percentage they shot.
allowed defense faster game pace played
Our defense allowed the game to be played at a much faster pace and I think that was the difference.
allowing basketball coach elder fantastic job john knows played prepare statesman team temple terrific
Temple played a fantastic game. The elder statesman (Temple coach John Chaney) really showed that he knows how to get his team up and he knows how to prepare them for an important basketball game. They did a terrific job not allowing us to score.
basketball elder fantastic knows played prepared statesman team temple win
Temple played a fantastic game. The elder statesman showed that he still knows how to get a team up and prepared to win a basketball game.
both force hit played style teams trying
I thought we played very well. Both teams were trying to force their will and style on each other. Obviously, Carl Elliott hit some big shots.
came depth half intensity pace people played second stepped wear
I thought we stepped up our intensity in the second half. I thought our depth really came into play. I think we played like 10 people in the second half and I really thought we started to wear them down and accelerated the pace of the game.
amazing gave hard hearts ourselves played
It's amazing that we were able to will ourselves to this game. I thought we played our hearts out, we never gave up, and played hard on every possession.
good last league played schedule won
We played a very good non-conference schedule last year, we won the league and we won the tournament, and we were a 12th seed. It had no bearings, whatsoever. That's my opinion, anyway.
among due experience gate inside lack pops tonight
I thought we got out of the gate pretty early. Pops established our inside presence, which is what we wanted to do tonight due to the lack of experience among their inside guys.
balance changing defense switching throw trying withers zones
I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
level playing point season
I think we still have a way to go. I want to get to the point where we're playing at the level we need to play at. Because very shortly it's going to come down to one game, one play and that's my focus. We need to be at the level where its one play and your season is over.
