boys burning fire hunger hungry last saw week
This last week of practice, we did what we could to get the fire burning and to make the boys hungry again. I think we saw some hunger tonight.
whoever
This is one of those games, whoever had it last. And I wanted to have it last.
best boys effort energy pick time
The boys put so much time and energy and effort into that game. To have it not go your way, it does take some time to come back and try to pick up the pieces. We feel that we've done that to the best of our ability.
five guys playing running sharing
That's when we're at our best, when five guys are playing defense, five guys are running and we're sharing the ball.
both certainly challenges coming direction gave leadership met provide push relying seniors time trying
Coming into this season, I certainly thought that we were going to be relying on our seniors for both leadership and direction on and off the court. Every time I was trying to provide a push for them, they always responded and met the challenges we gave them.
game good keeping slowing spreading style terrific
They had a terrific game plan: spreading us out, slowing the game down and keeping us in the 50s. We had to win this game in a style that we've not had to do yet. The good thing was, we did.
bench words
We used words like monumental, gigantic. He was really big off the bench for us.
job
That's uncharacteristic of us. We've been doing a better job from the free-throw line.
asked happy kid michael pace task youngest
I was real happy with the way Michael set the pace (of the game). We've asked him to do that for us and he's been getting it done. That's a big task to ask when you're the youngest kid on the floor.
charles dribble drive four game happy heads job last minutes north putting taking terrific
I wasn't happy with the last four minutes of the game (for us). Give St. Charles North credit. They did a terrific job of putting their heads down and getting to the basket. We need to do a better job of taking away dribble drive penetration.
liked problems second selection shot shots
I liked the way we got after it in the first half. (In the first quarter), we shot better. The same shots were there in the second half, but we just couldn't get them to go down for us. I didn't have any problems with our shot selection (in this game).
free playoff throws
It's playoff time, you've got to do everything right, and free throws are a big part of it.
grabbed guys leave offensive reluctant shot somebody stepped weapons wish
Do I wish somebody would have stepped in there and grabbed him before he got that shot off? Absolutely. But at the same time, with so many offensive weapons out there, guys were reluctant to leave the shooters.
difference start
It makes a big difference when Shaun is active, everything we do I want to start with his hands.
