(Olsen) got a lot of second chances. He played above himself tonight, and had great energy. |
All that matters is that you win that first game, and then start focusing on the next game. |
Credit Bingham, they brought it out right from the beginning and had a little more intensity while we were a little more passive. But I still had a gut feeling that we were still going to have a chance after we fell behind 17-4. |
Defense is how we've won games all year long. We had to tighten the pressure in the second half. |
Everything (Pratt) shot was contested and I thought David did a good job on him the whole game. |
He causes so much havoc defensively, but he also does a great job on offense with his penetration. |
He was thinking attack, which is what we ask him to do. He's a skilled player and has performed well in games we've done well in. He did a good job tonight. He played his guts out. |
He's a good shooter and he's been getting better through the year. |
He's a great shooter and he's been getting better through the year. He's been getting beat up by (Austin Haws) and Josh Jones every day in practice and I think that's been making him a lot tougher. |
He's our spark plug in our defense. That was the difference, having him come in and give us that momentum in the second half. |
He's really physical, and because of his size he has a great ability to disrupt the dribble. And because of his quickness and ability to recover in a hurry, he can take chances that other players can't take. |
He's so strong and so athletic that he can guard anyone, regardless of how big they are. He can defend inside, and he can defense outside. |
I think with the way Pleasant Grove has been playing, the way any of the teams have been playing, that we can win it. It's just a matter of getting on a roll. You hope you're hitting on all cylinders. If we are, I think we have as good a shot as anyone. |
It forced us to have to press. We played with more energy and hit some shots, but they were very good at going over the top of the press and attacking. But we were down and we had to create turnovers. |
Some times having a shot rim out does more to mess with your confidence then shooting it too hard. We had a lot of those tonight. |
