(Plymouth) is a very good basketball team. They won 16 games in a good conference. |
I knew it wasn't (a fluke). I saw them play South Central. They're a great basketball team and they really proved it tonight. |
I thought tonight was a team win. We had four non-starters on the floor and the run continued to the end of the quarter. |
I took those things away and we had a heck of a week of practice. I told them (at halftime) we would be practicing in the parking lot at the middle school next week. |
I'm happy with that. But we're a good basketball team. It never should have gotten to 20. It should have been four and then when we make our run, we get ahead. |
The object is to keep on playing, and we will do that. We struggled tonight, but we did enough things right to come out with a win. |
They made plays and we didn't. Right now, we have a very small margin of error because we're shooting the ball horribly. We've done it now for three straight games. |
They turned up the defensive intensity and that was the turning point. I thought we played pretty good defense all night too, but you've got to score in the 50s. We're not shooting with confidence right now. We're shooting hoping we don't miss. |
We didn't have much of a margin for error with Nick out. Then our back-up point guard has two fouls a couple of minutes into the game. Against a team like Ontario that puts you behind the 8-ball. |
We missed too many easy shots. Against a good team, you have to score when the opportunity presents itself. We missed three uncontested three-footers in the second half. |
We put ourselves in position to win the game. We're proud of these kids. They never gave up against a very good team. |
We quit attacking once we got the lead. We didn't handle the ball well either. |
We'll come back. We have to play well (against Seneca East) tonight. |
