I told them we could live with 12 turnovers, but 18 is too many. Good players make plays in the fourth quarter when it matters. That's what Douglas did. |
I was really excited about practice this week. Their enthusiasm this week got me excited to coach. I think you could see a lot of pieces of their hearts and guts out on the floor. Both teams were exhausting early with the hype and left everything out on the floor. |
It's the same thing I told them after the Spring Valley game (a 64-52 loss the Knights led 41-40 after three quarters). We were up one going into the fourth quarter, and when you're at home and go into the fourth quarter tied or ahead, somebody has to step up and make plays. It's not OK to get beat in the fourth quarter at your own place. |
We've just had spans like that all season where we couldn't score. It's tough when you fall behind against any team, but when you get behind against Chesapeake they understand who is supposed to get the ball and when they are supposed to get the ball. And they know how to manage the clock and play team basketball and run their open post offense. |
