I thought we rebounded the ball very well. That was the key to the game, I think. They were very aggressive on the boards and we got after it and rebounded very well. |
If they would have came and defended us, we would have played, but since they didn't come and defend us, we didn't. We would have definitely played if they would have come out and defended us. |
It's hard to get to Peoria. I think it's been a great accomplishment for our guys. I'm glad we've got the opportunity, and we're going to try to make the best of it. |
It's the first time we've had a physician with us. It's a good thing we did because he stitched Spencer up at halftime or we wouldn't have had him otherwise. |
Most of the runs we actually played pretty well. I thought we guarded them well. We made them shoot shots we wanted them to shoot. |
Offensive execution in the second half was a big part of the game. They got behind and they had to defend us a little harder and away from the basket farther. Generally when that happens, you get more easy shots around the basket. |
Our guys are pretty interchangeable. They can all dribble, pass and shoot, so it's hard to key on one player with us. |
Our guys have had a great season. We're getting ready to start a new season. |
Our guys have improved steadily the whole year. This is a nice reward for our guys. It's hard to get up here. We've had a lot of guys that have worked hard and didn't get here. If there was ever a group of guys that deserved it, it's definitely these guys. |
Our kids played real hard against a very good basketball team. They showed a lot of poise in a pressure situation and came up with a big win for us. |
Our low-post defense and defensive rebounding will be a big key. |
Spencer and E.J. made some nice plays in the middle. |
Spencer is a very gifted player who works very hard at what he does. I thought he played smart, played with a lot of intensity and had a great game. |
Spencer just does whatever we need on a given night. They guarded him hard tonight; they didn't come off him much. A lot of those open shots we got, he did a good job of passing the ball to get us those. |
That may have been the best game we played all year, and we needed that kind of game against that kind of team. I was very pleased with the way we played against Metamora. |
