We got word that our [fan] bus was supposed to leave at 6:15 a.m. and they didn't leave until a quarter to 7. So we knew they were going to be a little late. |
We had to play a near perfect game to win. They (Arlington) are the best rebounding team I have seen since I have been coaching high school. |
We knew coming in we had to play near perfect to win, and they would have to have an off night. |
We knew the first few minutes of the second half were going to be crucial. We play the way we practice, which is to say is we were not going to take the air out of the ball, we were going to play to our strengths, it just did not happen the way we wanted it to. |
We knew we needed a near-perfect game. And that they had to have an off night. |
We see that every day. |
You look at Hoosiers , Miracle on Ice , all those terrific movies in real-life stories, that's what we were hoping for. We weren't able to overcome their talent. |
