aspect bit good half head kelly second took
Kelly was terrific. He was good in every aspect of the game. He got his head up a little bit the first half and really took it to us the second half.
game good job ran road second win
We did a good job of getting back in the game in the second half, but we ran out of gas. You have to play really well on the road to win in this league. We didn't and they did.
enjoyed experience fun hope second talented though works year
This has been fun to be part of, though this is only Jacob's second year with that. He's really enjoyed this experience and I hope it all works out for them because this is a very talented team.
defensive happy second
I was not happy at halftime. Our defensive play was sloppy, and I thought we did much better in the second half.
defensive guys hard played second shooting shots
I really thought our guys played hard and played well on the defensive end. We just didn't make shots in the second half, and shooting will come and go on you, but I really thought our guys competed hard.
came chance control dominated finish game grab half hook second tale
It was a tale of two halves. We had a chance to grab control of the game and we didn't finish the first half well. We kind of let them off the hook a little bit. They came out and dominated the second half. They overpowered us inside.
accept adjusting both freshman hard intensity sophomore trouble understand whether worked year yelling
I think it was hard for him, initially, during his freshman year and a little his sophomore year, whether it was the intensity or my yelling or whatever. He probably had some trouble adjusting to that. I think we've both worked hard to try and understand the other and accept some differences.
deserve games happy last league lost possession three
We had lost three games on the last possession in league play. I'm really happy for our players. They deserve this.
consistent guys
We've had consistent breakdowns, especially offensively. Unfortunately, some of the same guys are making the mistakes.
extremely good minute played team
Other than a minute and a half, our team played an extremely good game.
gotten obviously
That was one that obviously shouldn't have gotten away from us.
bounce character effort felt games guys happen less played pleased team today wednesday
I was very pleased to see our guys bounce back today with the effort and energy, especially with how they played with in the first half. It was one of those games where anything can happen after the devastation we felt on Wednesday night. A team with less character would not show up to play.
control difference guy huge pace speed
When you have a guy who can control the speed and pace of a game, it makes a huge difference for teams.
care emergency great medical mike quite trainer turned
Without going into great details, it turned into quite the emergency situation. Our trainer Mike Meyer was courtside and was phenomenal. We called 911 and the paramedics got there shortly. Fortunately, he had great medical care and he's doing fine. He's going to be fine.
