(The difference) was their shooting early. They were really hot and (Goetz) is a real good player. He controlled the game, the tempo and made his foul shots. We knew he was an excellent foul shooter and he proved it. |
Franco is a great student of the game. He's a gym rat, he brings that to the team and he has great passing skills. |
He was on fire and, when somebody's on fire like that, they try to carry it through the whole game. But when I needed ball-control and patience a little bit as a team, he dialed into that. |
I was real happy with the finish. I got some subs in and they all played well. Everybody I used in the game stepped up and played well. |
I would like him to pick up his scoring a little bit and I know I'm preaching a teamwork aspect of the game, so he might be looking to pass a little more and that might be cutting into his scoring. |
If I could only bottle that first quarter and take it with me to the next game. I'd absolutely do that. |
It's a tremendous feeling. We talked about it. Living it and sharing it with Jeannette is fine. |
Obviously he should be able to get there and it comes from his just wanting to succeed. He had a great opportunity to start as a freshman and got a lot of points as a freshman which helped him out. |
Rebounding is one of our strengths and we just didn't rebound in the first half. I was upset and we talked about that at halftime. |
The teamwork was there, the great passing was there and the finishing of the great passing. I think everything was clicking. |
