He's been the go-to guy all year. It's a hard thing knowing we lost by just three. I'm sure we'll be counting the free throws and offensive rebounds they got. |
I like having a fourth team in the playoffs. This year with the three-team format, two good teams will miss the playoffs. If we get in the same scenario next year, only one will miss. |
I think it helped us confidence-wise. I think we were physically tired. That's not an excuse. I think our tanks were a little empty. |
I think we probably got them a little worried at the end. I just felt for us to come back as a team like that showed character. |
I'm proud we kept battling. We didn't quit. This was one of those games where you hate it that somebody had to lose. |
It was some week. We went from losing to (Flower Mound) Marcus and thinking we were done to winning Friday and Saturday to get in the playoffs. We went through a lot in the final week of the season. |
It'd be nice to go over there (Plano) and win. But even if we do, we still have six district games left. There's still a tight race going on in our district. |
Sterling gave us more size up front. Our rebounding improved with him back in the lineup. He'll get better as he spends more time on the court. |
That shows the character of this team. When we were down all year, we'd come back. |
Then we have to play a team that had beat us twice. It would have been easy to get our heads down. One week showed a lot about these guys. |
We also needed a third scoring threat and we didn't get that. It would've helped to get double-digit scoring from a third guy. |
We haven't played well here in four to five years. I was impressed with us, but also with their poise there at the end. They had the ball in the hands of the player they wanted it in. |
We just ran out of steam (in the fourth period). We weren't hitting our shots and were tired in the end and they (Male) made their free throws. They're a good team. |
We reached our goal of making the playoffs. |
You can't be great at a whole lot of different areas. |
