anywhere hurt losses nine rio seven valley victor
I thought we'd be anywhere from a seven to a nine seed, but I thought we'd be at home. I think those losses to Rio Hondo and Victor Valley really hurt us.

For a guy at the community-college level, he has a higher consciousness when it comes to understanding the game.
care game
We really didn't put the game away when we had the chance, and it was because we didn't take care of the ball.
ball both defense execute game great job plan turn
We didn't execute our game plan at all on offense. Defense and rebounding were great. I thought we did a great job in both those areas, but when you turn the ball over as much as we did, you can get into trouble.
conference eliminated four huge kept win
This win kept us from being mathematically eliminated (for the conference title). If we had lost, we would have been eliminated with four losses. It was a huge win for seeding purposes for the playoffs.

We're going to have to play a road game in the state playoffs, and that's the type of team we're going to have to beat.
ball beat bottom coming earlier guard hurt line next point pulled shot turn victor week win year
When your point guard is going to turn the ball over that much it is going to be close. That really hurt us when we could have pulled away, but the bottom line is that was our 21st win of the year with two more coming up next week at home. Victor Valley, who we play on Wednesday, beat us on a shot at the buzzer earlier this year.
