Coming into this season, I don't think anybody expected us to do this. It was quite a surprise. |
David does everything for us, and not having him in there definitely hurts us. I'm sure he would have made a difference. I don't know if he would made the difference between winning and losing. |
Every time they came back, we had answer for them. We were able to make our free throws and take care of the basketball a little better. |
He had, by far, the best game of his career. |
He was incredibly strong as we sealed up the win. He took it to the hole. |
He's got a 35-inch vertical leap, so he's able to get over people and get his shot. |
I put him in then because I wanted to give us a spark. |
Other guys are stepping up for us offensively. |
The first time around, they clearly dominated from start to finish. In the second game, we were able to take advantage of our scoring opportunities and we played more composed. They didn't have anything going. |
They got more easy baskets in the third, and we weren't showing enough intensity on either side of the ball. We were hanging our heads a little, and I tried to tell them when they feel like that they need to fight harder. |
We couldn't hit anything in the fourth quarter. We were missing shots inside that were rimming out. |
We hit a little bit of a funk, like we do at times, scoring-wise and making some unforced turnovers. Give Hamilton credit - they came out and extended some pressure. |
We know they're going to come after us. We need to keep our composure. |
We struggled to score and that has been the issue for this team the whole season. We need guys to step up and knock down shots. When we get good, open looks, we need to make the shots, and we're not doing that right now. |
We will be all right there. It's a matter of the kids making plays out there. |
