desire extension knows
He's like an extension of me out there. He has such a desire to play and win. He knows where everyone is on the field.
ball beat bigger shoot
They were bigger than us, but they didn't shoot the ball real well from the outside. We wanted to make them beat us from the outside.
ball coming easy pressure third turned
Especially coming off the third quarter, we really put the pressure on them, turned the ball over and got some easy baskets.
good movement
They're very good. They use a lot of movement and take good shots.
fall great kept looks mentally nelson open physical shape shots strong wear
He's in great physical shape and we thought him guarding Nelson would wear (Thomsen) down a little bit. He's mentally so strong he just kept working at things. I told him his shots would fall and he'd get some open looks after a while.
ball change hopefully shoot slow
I think it's going to be a real battle. Hopefully we shoot the ball a little better. We'll change some things defensively to hopefully slow them down a little.
best knew lost passed played soccer
I knew they had only lost one game. But I think we played our best soccer today. We passed real well and we finished.
biggest great leader
The biggest thing is he makes everyone around him better. He was a great leader on the team.
ask beginning believed bigger definitely guys hustle season
These guys definitely overachieved. If you had told me at the beginning of the season we would be here today, I wouldn't have believed you. We play bigger than we are, we hustle and we play with a lot pride. That's all you ask for really.
ball brings complete gets guy hits knows plays rest shots team tough turn
He does it every night, basically. I think the rest of the team knows that. He's the guy we're going to turn to when the going gets tough and he just does everything for us: Rebounds, plays their big guy, hits the big shots and brings the ball up when we're having trouble. He's just a complete all-around player.
ball guys last players problem ran sitting watching
Last year, our other guys ran into the problem of sitting and watching Crawford and Thomsen. Players used to get out of their way. This year, they know they'll get the ball and they know we need them to score.
