almost composure control fired foul keeping knew played playing promised start talked trouble week
I talked to him all week about keeping his composure and not playing out of control and I almost didn't start him because I knew how fired up he would be and I didn't want him in foul trouble. But he promised me he wouldn't get in foul trouble and he played really well.

E.J. has been in a slump and kind of down on himself and those two threes were big for us down the stretch.

I was very pleased with their effort. We were just worn out in the fourth quarter.
beat behind best defense defensive focus game held home minutes offense opponent played points practice quality six spent sunday terms vernon whether
Our first focus is on whether we're getting defensive intensity. Mt. Vernon was probably the best game we've played this year. We got beat by six but held a quality opponent to 35 points on their home floor. But in terms of development our offense is behind the defense so that's why we spent 90 minutes of our Sunday practice working on nothing but offense.
beginning defense focused middle playing pleased slow sluggish step uninspired
We were not very focused at the beginning of the game. We were a step slow and sluggish and playing uninspired on defense. But I was very pleased with our defense in the middle two quarters.

We played well tonight and have showed improvement. They beat us up there by 26 points.
