It's easy to relax when you jump out to a 13-1 lead. After that, they pretty much beat us the rest of the first half. We kind of relaxed a little bit after getting a big lead. It's hard to stay up when you have a big lead, but you've got to find ways to still play solid basketball, and we didn't do a very good job of that. |
Nobody could stop them. Guys drove around us at every spot. David Fisher pretty much just lit us up. |
Our offense is based on guys getting good looks. I think we just take a lot of good shots. |
They got some easy baskets. Giving up that many points in the paint is very uncharacteristic of our team. |
This is a good way to finish it off. This is a little more sweet for me personally this time. ... We have come a long ways since I've been here. It's been nice to be a part of that. |
We always thought we could do it, a lot of people probably didn't think we could. That has made it a little more sweeter this year. ... It's good to be here. |
We always thought we could do it, that's what has made it a little more sweeter this year. People have counted us out sometimes, we've been proving them wrong all season. It's good to be here. |
We are just glad we are in the championship game. Whoever it may be, we just need to be ready to go. |
We came out real lackadaisical, and they came out ready to go. It was just a matter of us getting to their shooters and getting ourselves going. |
We gave them all they could handle on their home floor. We had our opportunities to win. |
We have proven that we can play with schools like Arizona and Kansas. We are just short of a win. It would be nice to get over the hump and get into the win column. |
We want to focus on one game at time but at the same time we know we have to win out in order to get the highest seeding we can ? a chance to get second or a chance to get third. We don't want to fall down into the fourth or fifth spot; that would be bad for us. |
When I was in high school and would ride along with my dad, I thought of how cool it would be if we were cops together. I always thought if the opportunity presented itself, I was going to try to get on with Fairview Heights. |
When we came up on the board, we almost tore coach Morrill's house apart. It was awesome. |
You could feel the momentum change. |
