basically felt game player thrown
I haven't been able to practice. I felt like a new player who was basically thrown into the game with little experience.
crucial errors game guess lack mental needed stops time victory
It was tough. We made a lot of mental errors at the end of the game that kind of solidified the victory for them. On the other hand, we didn't get stops when we really needed it. I guess it was a lack of communication. I'm not really sure. It was at a crucial time in the game.

basketball career help last might money people players points realize selfish stuck until worry

ball combined elton energy game hurt looked sam shot start urgency
We didn't start the game particularly well and that kind of hurt us. Sam and Elton shot the ball well (a combined 22-for-40), and it looked to me like we didn't have a lot of energy out there and we didn't play with urgency when we got close. After we got it down to five, that was it.

We both can complement each other. Everybody has to pretty much feed off each other.
changes continue fairly low next situation unless water
Webster was low going into the winter, ... and we know it will give up water for irrigation next summer. Unless the situation there changes fairly quickly, it's going to continue to be very low.
