John was a man possessed. He played with a lot of confidence, and I think he came out hungry. |
That was two pretty good basketball teams battling. I'm sure St. Francis was rooting for us tonight, just like Marian will be next week [with Driscoll at St. Francis]. |
We had to treat each possession as a crucial because it's a small possession game. We were trying to be patient and get a good look against it (zone defense). They were really packing it in and really trying to sag on Kyle. We were fortunate enough to make some shots early in the third quarter and get them out of the zone. And then we were able to run some of our man stuff. |
We were crisp on offense. Kyle Jenkins takes up a lot of the defense's attention, so we usually get open looks. Kyle did a nice job kicking it out and we took advantage of that. |
