The practices have been highly intense and the kids have been very focused. They have prepared to be here, and they want to make the most of the opportunity. |
This sport doesn't have judges where you score on style points. It's all about putting the ball in the basket. I thought our defense allowed us to be in a position to make a run in the second half. |
To tell the truth, that's not even something we are focusing on. We might throw it in there as extra motivation, but this is a new season and we just look at it as a game we have to win. |
We continually shot ourselves in the foot with mistakes. I'm stunned, and I have to take some of the blame. |
We did a lot of things well. We threw well, played good solid defense and put the ball into play. |
We expect Tuesday to be a special night because Rapids always plays us well. We were able to keep the lead in the conference. We need to keep playing one game at a time. |
We're going to have to take care of business. We've gone through the up and downs when these kids were freshman and sophomores, and improved on what we did last year. I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable group, and this is where they can make their mark. |
