basketball faces great needed quarters three time year
That was the first time all year I've had to get in my kids' faces about effort. To their credit, they responded. But we needed three quarters of great basketball after that, and we didn't get it.
courage hope series
I thanked them for having the courage to play this game. I hope the series continues.
bag both change clothes drive last next scout straight time
The last two years I've packed a bag so I could go straight up to Marquette (to scout the next opponent), and both times we lost, so this time I didn't pack. Now I have to drive back to Traverse City, change my clothes and drive back up to Marquette.
finally hope
I hope we can finally come out of this one with a win.

I didn't hesitate to put Matt in. He's a senior who knows how to make big putts at big times.
couple great job kept kyle running switched thinking
Kyle did a great job running the offense, and I switched things up on him a couple of times. I didn't give him any breaks, either. I kept thinking I should take him out, but I just couldn't. He was an ironman tonight.
