Our pressure defense really started to work. We didn't let Morgan settle into their offense and when we forced a turnover, we converted on the other end. |
Peter is very talented. He has a tendency once in awhile to get loose and nonchalant. He's 6-5, he can shoot it, he can put it on the floor, he can pass, he can rebound. He's a very talented basketball player. |
Sometimes you're better to be lucky than good, right? Yeah, you bank a shot in like that and its luck. But these kids don't quit. If you keep hanging in there and working hard sometimes the lucky guy wins. |
The defense and the rebounding have been great all year long. The offense was a bit of a concern, but lately it has been coming around. |
The last two minutes of regulation and then overtime we played with a sense of urgency. |
This was an exciting game, a good game to watch. The atmosphere here is always great when the gym is packed. How could you not be fired up to go out and play hard? |
This year has been a struggle for us, the way we are winning games. Nothing comes easy. We may have had one more loss at this point last year when we won the state title, but it was completely different. |
We have been inconsistent on offense this year and we were today. I was pleased with our defense. We held a good team to 45 points, but we had bad stretches on offense. It wasn't just the shooting, it was the execution. |
We've been fortunate to win some close games and the credit goes to the kids because they're mentally tough and have been making the plays. |
We've really been stressing denying wing perimeter passes and getting out into passing lanes. Peter [Barrows] and Brendan Rafferty are doing a much better job on that, so that leaves Hansen and Pierson to play the post defense. |
You leave your man and you double-team and you try to gamble and create some chaos and that worked out. We got steals and some easy hoops. |
