They banked in a 3, and those kind of things will happen when you don't get after a team, and close the door. |
They're the one team in the tournament we haven't beat yet. We're hoping the third time's the charm. |
To go 3-1 in this tournament, we're happy with that. It's a tough tournament every year, and only one team gets to go 4-0 in this tournament. |
We beat them by 20 last time. But they are a totally different team than they were then. |
We couldn't buy a shot in that second quarter. You have to credit their defense. Their defense is tough. Part of it was them and part of it was that we turned the ball over. The kids got urgent. We got down, and all of a sudden, we thought we'd make up 15 points on one possession, and that's not going to happen. |
We definitely had a chance. They're a well coached team, they run their offense well and do a lot of good things. |
We just knocked off one of the best teams on our schedule, and I don't even think we played our best game. We didn't give up. We could have given up. We had plenty of chances to give up. We led for (the last) nine seconds of the game, and that's all that matters. |
We know they were acquaintances. |
We've got a big game on Friday night against a team that beat us by four points up at their place. There won't be any letdown. |
We've played Carbondale and East St. Louis, and if they played 10 times, they might go 5-5. When you look at the teams that are left, East St. Louis is playing as well as anybody. |
