I thought Daniel and Austin did a real good job all game on the perimeter. We did a good job closing out on their shooters most of the night. (Hamilton Co.) does so many things that you have to adjust. Sometimes you get lost, and we messed up a couple of times, but we played well on defense overall. |
I thought we did a good job limiting the touches their post people got. We were giving up a lot of size, but we did a good job executing our defense and getting a hand in their shooters faces, too. |
Isaiah came in and stepped up to hit a couple of tough shots when the game got tight in the second quarter. We rotated him and Smith in there and both gave us good production. |
It was good to see the seniors come out and just play well. There was a nice crowd and the guys played well. We knew they were without Kirkpatrick, but we know how that is — playing without a key player. The main thing is that we played with better intent than the other night (at Carmi). |
The big thing he did was penetrate the baseline. He got some easy baskets and it made them play us a little differently. He had a big night. |
There are a lot of circumstances in a ballgame, but the big thing was we just didn't shoot the ball very well. And when you can't put the ball in the hole you can't win. |
They were both still a little queasy, but we need them out there. That caused us to miss some threes I think we can make. |
We shot the ball well from the outside and we got good transition baskets, too. We just had a little different attitude out there tonight and we got a win on Senior Night which is what we wanted. |
We wanted to go out and attack them, and I thought we did, we just didn't get a break. We thought we could get some fouls called if we attacked, but we didn't and they did. That's part of the game and how things go sometimes. |
