(Sigler) was real strong off the dribble. He had that look in his eye that he was not going to be denied. |
At no point were we in the game. They were undermanned and I don't know if that contributed to us thinking we could just show up and win, but we did not show up in any phase of the game. |
Before his last game, he was shooting 64 percent from the floor. He's learning to shoot around the basket. He averages 13 to 15 shots a game and we call a couple plays for him, but he's mostly getting points out of our motion offense. |
Cook is one of our better shooters and he was hitting with a 6-8 guy in his face. |
Early on, our defense was a little suspect. But in the second half, they were hitting some pretty tough shots. |
He got hammered, but there was no call. |
He played pretty well tonight. A lot of times he scores a quiet 31, but I didn't think so tonight. We looked out of sorts and every time we needed a basket he would come through. That 3 he hit just before halftime was big. We were stuck on 23 for like four minutes. |
He's a typical gym rat. After I send everybody home, he stays and shoots jumper after jumper and free throws. He stays 20 or 30 minutes after every practice and I have to tell him to go home. A couple of times, I gave the guys the day off, but he's the first guy to ask if he can come in and shoot. |
It was tough to take. |
Other than a couple of concentration lapses at the end of each quarter, it was a really nice game for us defensively. This was a good win for us. |
Some of our other scorers' shots weren't dropping. We were a little bit off. |
We had some decent scoring opportunities, but we didn't get as many shots as we would have liked. They're a very good team. |
We're out to gain a little bit of respect. To beat a team from a good conference like this (the Greater Metro) helps. It's a nice confidence builder for us. |
