That's been a thorn in our side all year. We have to keep working on it. It's a mental thing. We're lucky that didn't bite us tonight. |
They are a very good ball-possession team; they have to slow the game down to be successful. I thought the kids responded pretty well. We got stops when we had to and made plays when we had to. We needed to get back into the win column. |
Waller is a very good outside shooter. Nick [Daniels] did a nice job on him — and the other guys did a nice job of staying in the gaps. |
We didn't give a very good effort (against Rolling Meadows). We were on our heels all night, and they (the Mustangs) were the aggressors. |
We got out of the hole tonight and started playing better. We executed down the stretch better. We had more energy, more intensity. So overall, it was a very good team performance. |
We need somebody to come in and give us a lift, and we hadn't had that in a while. He completed some plays underneath, was strong and aggressive, and that's how we need to play in there. |
We talked about stopping penetration. It was a huge key for us because they penetrate and kick out a lot, and they're really quick off the dribble. So we wanted to stay back in gaps and help. |
We were going to get back to defense, and Daniels is our best defender. He did a phenomenal job. |
You've got to give that kid credit. He wanted the basketball and hit two big shots. |
