I was pleased with our comeback after being down in the fourth quarter. We really haven't been able to do that. We aren't real deep so we run out of gas sometimes. |
In the last few games we've not been able to finish. We need to get used to holding the lead and be better defensively in the fourth quarter. |
Once we lose the lead we have a hard time. We were so out-gunned size-wise. They're a good defensive team and their hands are so active. We turned the ball over way too much. We can't give them opportunities by turning it over. |
Richie just got a raw deal this season, and Derek and Danny were just great to coach. They never complained. You couldn't find better kids than those three seniors. I have coached for 10 years, and I am always going to remember these seniors and what they have done for me and our program. |
Richie played OK. We maybe played him too many minutes but he said he felt good. We're having a hard time right now. Our kids don't know how to play with him on offense. |
That is what makes losing like this so hard. We have good kids who are great persons off the court. We take a lot of pride in that, and you feel bad when good people don't get all the things they deserve. |
The big kid killed us early. Our defensive effort the first half was just terrible. |
They have nothing to lose. They're young. We'll really have to bring it early. If we don't, we'll be in for another tough one tomorrow. |
We did a lot defensively. We made them take some tougher shots. |
We didn't start very well. We just weren't ready to play. |
We have no post presence. We have some guards who can spread the ball around the perimeter. |
We have to have guards. We'd like to play that pace, but our depth is an issue. When you rely on the perimeter shot as much as we do, you're probably going to be inconsistent. |
We knew with our defense keying on the inside that we would give up some open threes but they hit three in a row. On the road it seems like we always have one bad quarter. We've got to get consistent and get four good ones. |
We need to do a better job of putting pressure on the ball. They found out what we didn't do well and tried to take advantage of it. |
We tried to make it a hectic game. We got them playing at a pace that they didn't handle very well and we were able to get back in the game. |
