Big Sky did a good job of mixing things up in the third quarter. (They switched) from man and zone press to a half court trap just to get us out of rhythm. |
He did a great job stepping up the level of play, and that was huge. |
He is attacking the rim and getting himself involved in the offense early. |
He's a tough guy to contain. We did a good job the first half of fronting him and denying him the ball, but we got tired in the second half and he does a great job of sealing off guys and our backside help was little slow getting there. |
That was a big momentum shift. |
That was big tonight, coming out focused and not letting them get a lead. Capital picked up the tempo and got into an up-and-down game. |
That's a sign of a championship team ? to hit free throws in the clutch. That wins games, and that was the big key. |
The first three minutes of the second half was key, because they picked up a couple of turnovers and got their confidence back. That was the momentum shifter right there. |
We have to improve taking care of the basketball and preventing those mental mistakes out front against zone or man defense. |
We were looking for Matt to give us a good effort tonight and he did. We just didn't well enough overall. |
We weren't focused to start the game, but we battled back. That's a sign of our character. Our guys continued to keep working. |
We're focusing a lot of energy on that game. You always want to win your conference games and we really want our first win to be at home. It would be great to get both in one game. |
We're just looking to improve every day and by the end of the season be playing our best team basketball. |
We're really excited about this game. The guys are anxious to get this win. |
We're still playing hard. We're going to get one (a victory). We want to be playing our best team basketball down the stretch, and we're getting there. |
