For us to be good, we have to shoot a lot better than that, but I just thought we didn't play with compassion and the emotion we needed to have to play with Blue Springs South. |
I really like our kids and what's more important, our kids like each other and they really play hard together. |
I thought Dane Hughes played a very good ballgame. Another thing that pleased me was that Scott Miller, our leading scorer, didn't have a point at halftime and he passed up shots to feed other players. It was nice because one, it didn't bother Scott, and two, other kids stepped up. |
I thought overall, it was an excellent performance. I thought our shot selection in the first half was very, very good. |
In all fairness, if Blue Springs South played like they're capable and we play like we're capable, we'd still have trouble beating them. ... As a group, I just don't think we played as hard as we need to play to be good. |
Offensively, we did too much dribbling and too much one-on-one stuff, and we're not good enough one-on-one to beat people. |
The last thing we said before we left the locker room before the game was, '(Arnold) can really shoot the ball -- don't let him stand and shoot,' and he scored 22 in the first half. We tried both (Eddie) Mulholland and Scott Miller on him, and both those guys play good defense. |
This was a quality win for us, it really was. They're probably the quickest team we've played this year and I thought we handled their pressure real well. |
We missed two? We'll have to work on that. |
