That team does a lot of really good things offensively and defensively, utilizing their personnel very well. They're a big team and have done a great job. |
That's been something we've done all year. We have good shooters and guys that are good competitors. |
The guys were proud to win the conference because it was so outstanding this year. Our guys have done a good job. They've prepared well and played well and had a great regular season. Now we're getting ready to start a new season, and we'll get to work on that. |
The key for us is to limit Alton's transition. With those two guards they're very good in transition. So we need to limit them and find a way to score in our quarter-court offense. |
There are only good teams left now. Every game from here on out is going be hard fought. |
There's no more pressure on us now than there was when we first started. We like to play basketball. We like to work hard in practice and we like to work hard in games and we like to win basketball games. That's all we're focused on right now and that's all that matters. |
They are a good shooting basketball team. And when they are able to make shots from that far out, they are hard to guard. |
They are an excellent team. They beat Alton and we know how good Alton was this year. They've beaten some good teams and have played very well this season. |
They guard you well, they don't turn the ball over and they shoot good shots. This year they've got a very good shooting team. Last year they had some inside might and a couple of shooters. Now they've got a lot of guys that shoot well. |
They had a great run and were a dangerous team. We knew this would not be like the other two games. |
They rebound very well. That's the key to the game, we have to block out and rebound with them. |
They're a good basketball team and we knew they wouldn't quit. They handled our pressure very well in the first quarter and we couldn't get our run going. |
They're playing very good basketball right now. They play hard, they're very athletic and they've got a new player that is giving them a lot offensively. |
Those days in the practice gym helped. We got a chance to work on some of the things that we needed to work on. This was a good start to the tournament. |
We did a good job of pressing. Our guys worked real hard in the press and they did a real good job of being in the right place at the right time in the press. |
