chance floor fourth overtime press racing send track transition
(The fourth quarter) wasn't a track meet. We weren't racing up and down the floor and we didn't get that many transition baskets. We didn't press and they didn't press. We had a chance to send it to overtime all the way to the end.
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.
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).
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.
whoever
This is one of those games, whoever had it last. And I wanted to have it last.
defensive excellent job keeping length looked scoreboard series stops time
Every time I looked at the scoreboard even after a series of defensive stops we were always down by 10 points. Batavia just has so much depth, and they did an excellent job of keeping us at arm's length all night.
gold knew shoot
Fool's gold. We knew we were in for a tussle, the way (the Spartans) can shoot it.
safe
Nothing is for sure, but I would say that's a safe bet.
job
That's uncharacteristic of us. We've been doing a better job from the free-throw line.
difference start
It makes a big difference when Shaun is active, everything we do I want to start with his hands.
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.
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.
defend four game last lost minutes rebound shot won
Everyone will look at the last shot that didn't go for us that would've won it. But we lost the game in the last four minutes when we couldn't defend or get that big rebound to keep them at arm's length.
basketball effort game great hard knew loss offensive respect walk
After the effort we gave, it makes it hard (after a game like this). It's hard to walk away with a loss when you give it your all, but we knew who we were playing. We respect them and we know they're a great offensive basketball team. We've got to get better.
