They are a little different from Carlyle. They are a little bigger and they spread the floor more with their big guys. We'll make some adjustments, but at this time of year, you just do what you do. |
They are killing people on the boards. They are strong and physical, and a big key for us will be rebounding. If we can rebound well, we can get out and run. |
They have a lot of guards and good guard play and they're quick. It's pretty much the same thing as us. I've seen them play once against GCMS. I know Steffen is extremely good. Looking at CPCI is like seeing us. |
We felt real good where we were at halftime being up by three with Benny hitting that shot. The second half has been ours all year. The kids have done an excellent job of executing and playing great defense in the second half. |
We knew we could be good as long as we could get them to buy into team first and things like that, and they've done that. They bought that from Day 1 and just kind of trusted each other. We started playing our best basketball at the end. |
We knew we had to get him involved. They had him locked down pretty good in the first half, and they had to be thrilled that he only had four points. But once he hits one of those (3-pointers), he can get going and knock down a lot more. |
We knew we had to put a lot of pressure on the basketball to stop their inside game. |
We needed to create more offense through our defense. I thought we played good defense, we just didn't finish when we needed to. |
We tried to put pressure on their shooters so they couldn't make that (entry) pass. We had the other guys sagging off and making them back up to catch it. |
