Defensively, if you hold them to 36 points at halftime you feel like you should be in the game but you're still down 14, and that goes back to us not executing what we really wanted to get done. |
Don't overlook this league. You've got people that are playing very well that just aren't winning right now. It should be a good second half. |
I had a chance to see them a couple of weeks ago. They have two outstanding guards and a really nice post player. They're just a sound team, which is typical of the James River District. It should make for a great regional quarterfinal. |
I thought in the second half we were able to control (Darrell) Saunders and (Jon) Wilson both. We got on the boards a lot better in the second half, and valued the possessions a lot better than we did in the first half. |
I thought Jeff did an outstanding job on the boards ? got some big baskets for us. |
If that's the way we're going to play, we're not going to go very far come tournament time. If we don't get our game together team wise and quite being a bunch of individuals out there this is what you will see. |
Nelson played harder than we did. We've been playing this way for the past two or three weeks, we've practiced this way and played this way, and if we don't snap out of it we'll be one and gone next Tuesday. |
They came back on us and showed what kind of character they had. I think what we did in the overtime showed a lot of character and grit for our guys. We had to gut it out. |
This was a good ball game for us. I think the potential has always been there. We just came out and gave a team effort tonight. We attacked their pressure then came back down and played pretty solid defense. |
We attacked (the full-court press) pretty well, but we just weren't getting back defensively in transition. This is the first team we've played that had this kind of speed. |
We hit some shots and maybe played just a little bit harder defensively. |
We just had no control of the inside, defensively. |
We were missing shots that we had made most all year. They were there. We had open looks, but we couldn't get them to go down. And when you are playing a good shooting team like that, you've got to hit them. |
We're still not playing as smart as I would like them too. This was a good bounce back game. |
When we don't shoot well, and don't get back on defense, we have problems. We hurried some shots. |
