There's a rhythm shot that we make. To their credit, they got rhythm jump shots that you know you're going to make and we were trying to make it happen and force it to happen. |
We battled and competed all the way. The kids wanted this win badly, but we just didn't have quite enough. Crawford stepped up and made some big-time plays down the stretch. |
We found a way to crack them with that big run before half. That gave us a good lift and we had great energy to come out in the second half. Pete has a real good feel for the game. He has a knack of where to be. |
We got off to a real difficult start. I thought we played a little tentative and that fed into them. We knew we could come back. I didn't have to come up with any magical words. I just had to make sure the guys knew it wasn't just cheap talk. |
We had a very solid performance, especially as good as River Falls has been playing lately. A 14-point win on the road is nice to see. |
We showed a lot of character after the loss Wednesday and I expected nothing less. |
We wanted to bring the ball to the basket in some way. We had 15 seconds and that is plenty of time. But we muffed a pass and then we were in kind of a scramble mode. We had to take a not in rhythm shot. |
We'll learn from this. This will really help us. When we talk about this, and discipline and toughness and being who we are, they'll understand. We'll revert back to this game and they'll remember and this will help them down the stretch. |
We'll see how their fans respond and how well that helps Stout. With the competition at such a fever pitch at this point in the season, I'm not certain if there is a certain advantage to being home or away. |
When you let a team play that well in your gym this can happen. We didn't think Platteville would come in and not give us their best shot. For whatever reason, we let them get started and let them believe. |
