advance far fun good guys opportunity playing thankful time
I think any time you advance in the postseason it's fun for the players. Our guys are thankful to have the opportunity to still be playing and when you get this far along, you're playing good teams.
attention focus fun guys pay sure talk
I don't really pay much attention to the polls. I'm sure it's fun for the guys to look at it and talk about it. But I don't think it's a big focus for them either.
ball both ends good night offensive played rebounds shoot since three
I thought we played very well on defense. And I thought we rebounded the ball on both ends very well. And we had to since we didn't shoot very well, but Schaefer had three offensive rebounds on our first possession, he had a very good night on the boards.

I think we have a good bunch of guys that work real hard. We prepared well for this tournament and I think we deserved it. This is a good win for us.
great guys ready start
Our guys have had a great season. We're getting ready to start a new season.
credit ended guard players post
We ended up being to guard the post and the perimeter, and I think you have to give our players credit to be able to do so.
foul gave great trouble win
We had a lot of foul trouble and I thought that Burkett, Carl and Ess all gave us some great minutes. That was a big part of the win for us.
active defense glass good mark night played rebounds
I thought Mark had a real good game. He made some shots, he was really active on the glass and got a lot of big rebounds and he played good defense all night long.
ability defense gives guard guy key team tough
I think our team is tough to guard because we don't have one guy that you can key on. If you take something away from us, we have had the ability to take what the defense gives us.
finding good job places team
I think our team did a good job of finding Dustin in places where he could score. Then he made the shots.
coming competition good teams treated winning won
We like coming here for the competition. They have always treated us good up here and there are some good teams here. Winning here is important because we have been here a lot of years and haven't won many of these. This is a really good tournament.
change defense hard offense parts whoever worked year
We've worked very hard all year on those very important parts of the game. That's why we don't see a need to change our offense or defense to whoever we play because we've worked so hard at the fundamentals of the game.
athletes credit defended defense giving good half hard job second taking time tough trying
We do a good job of taking what the defense is giving us. In the second half we defended better, but we still had a tough time rebounding the ball, but that's a credit to Belleville East. They have good athletes and they were trying hard to win.
ourselves position win work
We still have a long way to go in the conference. We've got ourselves in position to win it, but still have some work to do.
