bench hit kid looking mom passed playing shots special
He hit two 3-point shots off the bench and he is a hero. He is a special kid and his mom passed away this summer. He's special because I think she is looking down and smiling. He isn't playing as much, but he is a big part of this team.
defending good job limit nobody player shut successful taylor valuable
We had good weak-side help. Antonio did a good job of defending him. That's where it is really valuable having a player like Antonio. Nobody can shut down Taylor - we can limit him. We'll be successful like we were tonight.
basketball care dedicating family hours love priorities program school second week whatever work
My priorities are family first, work second and basketball third. I really care about the program and I really love the school and I will do whatever I can for the team. But I know that dedicating that many hours a day and in a week will just be impossible.
team
We're not a pretty team to watch, but that's how we have to play to win.
front game games hate intensity lost needed people pick playing
I hate to say it, but the intensity of this game after playing in front of 6,000 people two games in a row, I think we just lost our intensity. We just needed to pick it up.
game good great guys knew nobody shoot shot sure win
He's always been a good shooter. Nobody knew about him and I'm sure these guys didn't. I knew they were going to be in a 3-2 and I knew the only way we were going to win this game was to shoot well. We didn't shoot great but we shot good enough.
ball calls couple difference foul guarded guys herb hurt mission shots
He was able to make his foul shots and that hurt us down the line. I thought the foul calls were lopsided. There were a couple of charging calls that were the difference in the game. Our guys who guarded Herb got into foul trouble. They got him the ball and it was mission accomplished.
contain holding pryor
We wanted to contain Pryor and holding him to 11 was big for us.
definitely last missing people piece puzzle second
Boy, did he come through in the second half. He's that missing piece of the puzzle we didn't have last year. If people think we don't have anything but Antonio, they're definitely missing the boat.
confusing covering josh nice taylor
We just had to find a groove. They did a nice job. Obviously, they scouted us and made it confusing for us. Josh Taylor was covering Antonio much of the time.
afraid last mike played
Mike played outstanding. He played hard. We played different because we weren't afraid like we were last game.
They said man-to-man. They were up to the challenge.
character concerned gotten job needs offensive second situations team
There was no way they should've gotten those offensive boards. They just wanted it more - what concerned me about that was the character of our team needs to come through in situations like that. We did much better job in the second half.
gone players stop teams three
Some teams have gone zone, some teams have gone box-and-one or diamond-and-one but we have a very well-rounded team. You can't stop two or three players on our team. You have to stop all five.
