That was a good game for us. Hennessy and Convery really stepped up for us. We had it under two with under a minute to play, and we fouled, but they hit their free throws. We played pretty hard and made some nice adjustments, we just couldn't finish.
I thought that we played well. Being a player down is tough, but we are getting Drake back this week, which will hopefully make a difference for us.
I think everybody on the team and every unit ... we kind of played like it was our first game. I think we have some things to work on, but I don't think it's anything that we can't get together.
We were happy to get a split for the weekend. Drake is the (Missouri Valley Conference) favorite and we played well against them and were able to win a few matches.
Wright State (0-4) is a tough team to tell anything on by their record. They have played outstanding competition thus far, including two matches with ranked foes (Michigan State and Ball State universities). They should be ready for a competitive match.
Our running game was big. The last couple weeks were rocky, but we were focused and we played four quarters.
He was our only returning senior who played a lot, and I thought maybe he would try and be the man, but he was our leader in the way he played team basketball.
This is our biggest game of the year right now. For the seniors, this is the biggest game of their career. A lot of the seniors haven't played in a game like this.
We played much better than we did last week. Maybe it was the long weekend we had that gave us some rest. But it won't get any easier for us.
