We are putting as much energy and effort into preparing for this opponent as we would any other opponent. |
We feel like we had two good days (of practice) Thursday and Friday. |
We made some big shots when we had to have ?em. Their guards are really good and they put pressure on us and bothered us all night. |
We needed some more plays on offense and (to make) more foul shots. |
We played the game a little faster than maybe they were ready for. It all started with defense. Our kids did a great job of setting the tempo and setting a high intensity level. |
We self-destructed in so many phases. The free throws, the turnovers. We couldn't handle the ball. Just things like that. We didn't get any breaks (from the officials) but we shot ourselves in the foot, too. |
We shared the ball really well. I'm pleased that we came down here so focused. |
We thought if we could finish some possessions with shots and scrap to keep them off the boards, we could get back into the game. We put together some scores and stops and things started to snowball for us. |
We took them out of some things they wanted to do. |
We wanna focus like a laser beam on these next six (games). We want to take care of our home games and find a way (to win) on the road and keep going after that state tournament berth. That?s what we set out to do. |
We've put ourselves in a great position. We need to be confident about that and feel good about that. Now let's go attack some of these games and get it done. |
When you have Southside on your jersey, you expect to win. It's a game that we look at as a one or two possession game. |
