He got to the basket on the previous two times on that set and he had a nice look. It just didn't work. |
Our bench once again paid big dividends. |
The one thing we like about our team over most teams we play is our depth. We play nine guys, and any one of them can go big on you on a given night. I think we're a difficult team to scout. |
The wide-open style we employ leads to big spurts but it can also give up big leads. |
We are blessed with a lot of kids that can play. We have eight or nine that are starters. |
We can't guard (Pleasant leading scorer) Brad Martin on the block and they've got a couple of good shooters, so we could not allow them to get the ball to the quarter court. We got into passing lanes and we got deflections. |
We like where we are. We've been there three of the last four years. |
We struggled formulating a game plan and I thought about changing to something different. But we haven't played that way all year. We needed to do what we do and if we have to we will make adjustments. |
We want the ball in his hands at the end. He's an excellent free-throw shooter that he doesn't appear to be bothered by pressure. |
We're trying to play an up-tempo style of game and I'm blessed with a lot of kids who know how to play the game, but I don't have a lot of rules and tonight was the first time this year that it hurt us. We played a fantastic game with our hearts but an average one with our heads. |
