We did a decent job handling them, but they are one of the most athletic teams we will play. Pryor was a big factor, but the other guys are pretty good athletes, too. |
We just did a great job and we executed. I really thought that if we could stay out front, we could challenge their shooters and they would struggle to score. We didn't give them any easy looks and that was key. |
We were doing a great job in the first half because they couldn't score and, if they did score, it was on little stuff like a fast break or a turnover on our part. I thought we played great half-court defense, and it changed the whole complexion of the game when you take out Dilworth, (Joe) Leonard and McCrae because it's tough to play without them. |
We were in a slump and out of sync because of the injuries. The win was important because were finally starting to get healthy. We've barely had enough players to conduct a practice. Now it's just a matter of getting our timing back and working on a little conditioning. |
