Anybody who leaves the gym tonight is going to say this team played hard. Did we win the game? No. But if we play this hard, we?re going to have a much better chance. That?s what they can control. |
First thing on the board is that Huffman is a 3-point shooter off the catch. She came out and had four of them tonight. |
It?s a good start. I?m very pleased for a guy like Andy, a senior who?s put in a lot of hard work for us. |
Mike was in a tough, no-win situation from Day 1. He was being asked to juggle two full-time positions, knowing full well it was going to be virtually impossible to manage it all. |
Nineteen and 15 and she?s a junior. She was able to do most of her damage on the offensive end. She?d miss a shot, she?d tip it back, she?d put it up again or kick it out for an open look outside. |
Obviously their size is an issue out there. They?re a veteran team that has been playing basketball together for a while now. |
They?re a good team, a real good team actually. Going into the season, there might have been some questions about their depth, but they have six or seven solid, solid players. |
To be honest I have a couple pitchers who don?t spend a lot of time working on their hitting. I don?t see any reason the rule has to change. |
To go into the fourth quarter 37-37 against a team that is as athletic as Concord, that?s a positive for us tonight. It can?t be the ultimate satisfaction, though. Our work has to pay off with wins. They need that as a team. |
We go ahead and they come back and hit a three and that bit of doubt creeps back into your head. They?re a good team. They?re 7-3 for a reason. |
We played very hard right to the end. But again, we have to play mistake-free and tonight we made just enough. |
With those two starters back, plus Barrera and Nolan, I think you have to call them the favorite. They have two top-flight pitchers and strength up the middle. |
