I was real happy with our defense. We gambled a little bit more than I liked. I think our ball pressure and denial defense was pretty good especially this time of the year. I told the kids to go out, attack the boards, and lay it all on the line.

Sometimes scoring can be a bad indicator with the way you are playing. In the game of basketball, teams make runs and you hit shots in bunches. Though we got down early, in our system we were executing it pretty well. We were just hoping they weren't going to be keep hitting the shots they were.

I do know our kids will get focused again and give it everything they've got. I'm sure this group will be ready to lay it on the line again Saturday and see if it's good enough.
good kids ready give
I hope there's more of a sense of urgency just because we wanted to play better. This was our next chance to see if we have taken a step and see if we can execute some of the things we haven't been able to throughout the course of the year.

I think the whole key to the game was how we executed on offense. We seemed to become a perimeter team early in the game and that's just not our style. Ripon was able to take advantage and start to pull away. When we decided to play solid defense and attack the basket on offense, we were able to make a run.

One thing I want us to do is be fresh, because we've played a lot of games in the last month-in-a-half. I want our guys to be focused and ready to go and fine tune some things.

I'm just so proud of my kids. Grit and determination tonight. We showed an incredible amount of toughness and we weren't clicking the best and we found a way to dig deep and find a way to beat a very good team.

I am so proud of this team. The thing about this team is they don't want to let one another down. They play for each other.

We aren't going to change a whole lot. Our offense lends itself to getting the ball inside so it's something we try to do every game so I'm sure we'll do the same on Thursday.
