bench games gave helped played
Our bench gave us a big lift, which really helped with all the games we've played recently.
chance heads issue played playing push reason run stops whatever
We were able to get some stops and get out and run and for whatever reason we just started playing. I don't know if we were playing not to be embarrassed, but something went off in our heads and we played with no fear. I just wanted to get out and run to push the issue because really, that's the only way we had a chance to get back in the game.
bit dug edge focus needed passion played together type
I wouldn't say we played that way the whole game, but for stretches we really dug down and did what we needed to do. We're a different type of team. We need a little bit of an edge for us to win. We don't have a superstar, so we have to focus on the little things, play with passion and play together as a group.
energy game heads maybe played playing second tough
Something went off in our heads -- maybe we were playing not to get embarrassed. If we started the game the way we played the second half, we're going to be tough to beat. We have to come out with more energy and focus.
approach half played tried upset
I was just real upset with the way I played in the first half and the way things were going. I just tried to approach it like it was a new game.
break played
It stinks, that's for sure. We wanted to break our streak. We just wanted to break out of it, and we played well enough to do it. It's frustrating at this point.
break losing played win
It stinks, that's for sure. Our losing streak, we just want to break out of it. We played well enough to do it. We just didn't win the game. It's just real frustrating right now.
defense good great played problems since team worried
I've got enough problems; I'm not worried about what's going through his head. I just think it's just been really good team defense; our weak-side defense has been great since we played them.
bit plays stop
I thought we got a little bit stagnant, and they were able to make plays when they had to. We couldn't stop them when it counted.
appreciate definitely healthy hope soon
I think we definitely appreciate the win, especially being short-handed. I think we appreciate it more. I hope we can get healthy as soon as possible.
basically bullied paint
(James) was able to get in the paint and basically do what we wanted. He just kind of bullied us.
goal highest seed
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. We have a lot to play for.
finish goal highest improve motivation move season seed shot
Our goal is to be the highest seed that we can. That is our motivation to move up. We have a shot to finish .500 for the season and improve our seeding. We have a lot to play for.
efforts normally second third
Our close-outs have been bad. We haven't been making the second and third efforts that we normally make.
