(Sparta is) a much better team than they were the last time we played them. They take the ball inside, and they guard well. ... This was a much closer game than the score indicates. |
A lot of games we'll just have one guy in doubles, and the other eight guys will have anywhere from five to nine points. That's pretty typical of our team. |
Even though we never came up with one of those big runs. I thought we made enough of those five and six point spurts to keep a decent cushion. |
Hayden came off the bench and really gave us a nice lift. |
I actually thought he played pretty well for a guy who had one practice under his belt. I think that has to be a boost for our team. |
I didn't realize it was that big of a run. We got some buckets in transition and I think we wore them down a little bit. |
I didn't think we played well in any phase of the game. Offensively, we didn't have the ball movement that we usually have. |
I thought in the second half, we guarded better than we did in the first half and didn't have as many turnovers. It may have worn them down a little bit. I think our depth probably was a factor in the game also. |
I told the kids you will not find a better environment to play in than the one they're going to play in (Friday) night. It will be electric. |
I was worried about their work on the boards, but I think we did a great job there. |
I'm so proud of these guys. |
It looked like we were going to take care of business. We just never could make that one big shot to get us over the hump. |
Late in the ballgame we did a real good job of attacking their zone. |
Macomb doesn't have a great deal of size. They don't seem to score a lot of points, but they do create a lot of points and scoring chances off their defense. Our scouts were pretty impressed. |
Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd have a twenty-point lead at the half. |
