He really didn't get going until late in the game when we were just trading baskets. He is a good player. This was a tough basketball team we played and we had to play well to get a win. |
I am really proud of our guys. We got a lot of solid efforts. |
I've been saying we're a work in progress, and there's still improving to do. Hopefully we can keep getting better and get to where we want to be. |
It was a battle of wills, and they instilled their will on us. We're not as good a team when we're reacting out there instead of dictating. |
It's a young group with a lot of kids coming back. Hopefully they'll use this as a huge motivator. |
Obviously our guys know who a team's best player is, but they don't do anything differently. We just stick with our basic principles, and it's a credit to our guys that they can step up and get it done. |
So much was running through my mind. I'm nervous going into the game and I'm hoping not to screw up. |
The only thing disappointing was how stagnant we got late in the first half against their zone. We overcame it though - Millsap started lighting it up and that really got us going. |
This makes our season. A championship is always a big deal. |
We defended it in the first half, but we weren't as aggressive in the second, and that led to some drop downs and kick-outs that killed us. |
We did a nice job on 'D' the whole game. Then we dominated the boards in the second half, and that's how we were able to separate ourselves from them. |
We really did everything well. We got some big stops, hit our free throws and executed on offense. We never really let them in. |
