I can't say we're playing well, but the kids are still playing hard. We just don't have anybody you can look at say you know they're going to get you 12 or 15 (points). If we get a couple kids putting it in the hole that night, then we're dangerous. |
I was pleased. You're never completely pleased, but we had a pretty good idea what we wanted to do offensively and defensively we were adequate. I was pleased with our performance. You can't expect a whole lot better than that. |
I'm not a big believer in making sure everybody scores. You have to get the ball to people who have shots. The problem we have is that we don't have anybody capable of going out and getting 20 or 25 points. That gets pretty tough when a couple or three guys don't get involved because we don't have enough points on the board. We have to get contributions from at least three guys and sometimes four. Every team doesn't have to have that, but we probably do. |
Obviously we've won a lot of games over the years. But those things don't matter, what matters is now. They've won two games (against us) and they're a little bit better team than we are right now. |
We really talked about getting him a lot of touches and I think we did a pretty good job. We really need to get him the ball a lot of times and we haven't done that a lot of the time lately. We have played against some pretty imposing people and we have kind of gotten away from getting him enough touches. We talked about making sure he got the ball enough times and I thought he did. |
We're giving up 40 pounds a man at almost every position in size, and they're really physical. They're just really physical defensively and we struggled to score. |
We've had a lot problems scoring. When we make shots, we're competitive and we can beat some pretty good people. When we don't make shots, it's like this. |
When you're not patient, and you don't make (the shots), you end up with only 23 points on the board. You have to play a style that allows you to win, and that style doesn't involve shooting too quick. |
