That game involved two teams with very strong wills. It's a shame a game like that has to come down to free throws at the end. |
That gym 's going to be hopping. It's going to be an exciting game. |
That was the first time all year I've had to get in my kids' faces about effort. To their credit, they responded. But we needed three quarters of great basketball after that, and we didn't get it. |
The last two years I've packed a bag so I could go straight up to Marquette (to scout the next opponent), and both times we lost, so this time I didn't pack. Now I have to drive back to Traverse City, change my clothes and drive back up to Marquette. |
They really took command of the game. We were shell-shocked. Not only did they hit shots, they took control of the boards. And our kids aren't used to that. |
We got the monkey off our back. Anywhere you go in the game of basketball there's pressure to win. For me, this is a sigh of relief. |
We mixed up our defenses a little better and I substituted a little earlier, which helped our legs. I thought we had better flow offensively, too. |
We'll celebrate tonight. This feels great. But we still have work to do. We're far from satisfied. |
We'll have our hands full. |
We're just trying to narrow things down. |
