I was just hoping for some more contributions from more kids. They came out and played hard for me, so I was happy about that. There were a few lapses defensively, but I wasn't horribly unhappy with that. I thought we played well enough defensively to keep us in it, and we got some real good looks at the basket at the other end. I mean a whole bunch of open 10 footers. We just didn't put the ball in the hole. |
That was basically what it boiled down to. We played good enough defense to win the ball game. The shots just didn't drop. We weren't anywhere near our average, and anytime you're in a one-and-done situation like this tournament, it's a bad time for that to happen. |
This is a great game for us. They're great competition. I knew coming into this tournament that we could go home 2-0 or 1-1 or 0-2. I think we had four real even teams here. It was certainly no cupcake tournament. |
