advantage hard playing second
I don't think there is any advantage of playing them a second time. Fayetteville is a hard place to play for any team.
deep fresh good looked quality
Considering we don't have an exceptionally deep bench, I thought we looked pretty fresh tonight. Right now our quality of play is good and because it is, we're able to win.

It's a great night for Rogers to honor a group of guys that have helped take the program to another level. They've laid a foundation necessary to reach this year's goals and the goals in the future.

It's a pretty hard place to play. But, we're attempting to change a lot of things about Rogers basketball. We've won two big (conference) games on the road now and we're ready to go.
academics athletics compare great hate played players
I've had some great players, and I hate to compare players from different eras that have played for me. But I don't think there's too many players with a better combination of character, academics and athletics than Kane. He is a great one.
deep defensive eye
It was a deep cut. He got the gash over his eye going for a defensive rebound.
competitor seems takes underneath wants whatever win
At first he seems like one of those laid-back, type-B personalities but that's just a disguise. Underneath he's a competitor that wants to win and do whatever it takes to win.

These guys, I?m not kidding ? they?re really focused. They?re not just happy about making the tournament. They actually want to play for this (conference) championship.
against fourth kept kindest magic nine number places road state team tournament trying win
This hasn't been one of the kindest places for us but I thought we kept our composure. I think it was important for us to come in here and get a road win against a team that's trying to get the fourth seed. I think the magic number to get to the state tournament is nine and that is one of our goals.
defense great kids pride wins
We play such great defense, our kids take pride in it. Defense is what wins for us.
conference picture playoff
After this week, the whole conference playoff picture could be settled.
ask basketball carrying games good jump playing steady together
We may as well jump on (Moore?s) back. He?s carrying us and really playing steady basketball. He?s put together some back-to-back games offensively for us that are about as good as you can ask of a junior.
games jonathan momentum moore offense shot
We established momentum right off the bat. We were a lot crisper on offense and a lot better with our shot selection. Jonathan Moore had one of his better games all-around tonight.
