(Kenny) played fantastic. He hit some tough shots, but he played well on defense too. |
(Southwest) is a pretty good team, they have a lot of size, their size really bothered us, it made it difficult for us to get it inside. |
(The Rockets) are very fast, they like a fast-paced game. We tried to slow the tempo down a little bit. It makes it difficult, because of how fast they force you (to play). |
A lot of the time we struggled to get strikes and kept falling into holes. We did well in the beginning, but it eventually caught up with us. |
Actually, our adjustment at halftime was to go work the baseline. And Joe got himself free down there so he was more the recipient of all of that. Joe's a very hard worker on the backboard so he gets a lot of shots that look like that he's not doing much, but he's done a lot of the work to get them. |
For us, they were complete players at the high school level, on both ends of the floor. |
Greg obviously made a couple shots early, and after he made a couple shots, I think he had that feeling, and then, he made a few more. |
He did a great job, and our guys did a good job getting him the ball. That's why they went to the zone. |
He knows he's going to play. He knows they're not going to take him out of the game if he makes a little mistake. They need to have him. From that point on, he's been a responsible player. |
He testified about murdering his mother without any emotion at all, it was just chilling really, |
HOPE VI isn't here just to build houses. It's here to build lives. The hope is, if construction is for them, they can figure out their specialty. By helping them to start deciding on careers, we can help them down the path of homeownership. That can lead to the building of equity and wealth in their lives. |
I felt like we made some strides against what I think is the best team in the conference. We just need to cut out those stretches where we make those mistakes. |
I got a very real sense he's back to enjoying the game. He really likes it there. |
I got a very real sense, from sitting down with him, that his maturity level is much greater than it was even two years ago. He's been through a lot. |
I think that was the key because ... right during that timeout we talked about (how) we needed to get in through the gap, and we scored three times in a row doing that. It gave us a little confidence going in and drawing it up at halftime. |
