A lot of times, his heart pumps the blood of two men. But if we look at it from a defensive standpoint ... Matt's starting for everybody and would be one of their top guys. He's a really strong defender and has gotten better offensively. |
Every time we tried to guard, it was a foul. It seemed like it was a lot tougher to play the ball than it was to play the body, and that played into their hands. They did a really good job of making their free throws. |
He has a good game even if he has two a lot of times. He did a lot of good things for us tonight. |
I thought the kids did some good things. I really thought they executed great in the first half. This is a good win. To get them twice, to get them at their place, that's just a really good win. |
If we would have hit two free throws a couple of times, we would have cracked it open, but we didn't. We still did some good things. I thought we executed great in the first half. |
It got physical and we weren't strong with the ball. |
Maguire answered. That was big. We just didn't make a couple of plays down the stretch. That's the way it goes. |
Notre Dame missed some shots that, a lot of times, they would make. Maybe it was because they were playing at a little bit quicker pace. Maybe it was just fate. I thought it was important that we rebounded those well, and we did. |
Part of the problem was we were shooting too quick (in the possession) and just missing. We had some good looks. |
This is a really good win. That's a conglomeration of really good basketball players over there. |
We didn't do what we needed to do to get it done, but they battled hard and played hard. We executed some things and even made some plays late to hang in there. |
We obviously fouled his forearm with our nose, and that's unfortunate. |
We've battled hard, and because of that and a lot of fate, we have pulled out some close games. |
You had some pretty good shooters just missing shots. It was both teams. It's not like we shot bad and it was still close. Belleville East struggled too. |
