I have five seniors who don't want to lose.
I challenged Roman at halftime. I reminded him that Armon and Darryl were his friends and that they were beating him again. Roman is the kind of kid who responds well to challenges.
I thought Carson came out well and made it very difficult for us to what we wanted to do. They are well-coached and play extremely hard. (Senators coach) Bruce (Barnes) gets a lot out of them.
When a team makes a run on us, I never call a timeout. I don't call a timeout because I know my kids can handle it. They never get caught up in the moment. They always know how to respond. Coaching these kids is just so easy.
Roman did a great job getting penetration. We didn't think we were going to be able to get that, because they're so quick out front. But he was able to get that, and he's been a big player for us the last three or four games. He's been a stud.
Our kids respond. They've been taught how to play the game. They know how to play the game, and they come out and play it. They don't get caught up in the moment and all that stuff.
When you get a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, you better win the game. If we would have lost that one I would have had a heart attack.
That kid put on a display last night, the Perkins kid. And the other kid (McGill) put on a show against Hug. If they would have shot like that tonight, we would have been in big trouble.
Everyone tries to double him, but he still gets 25 points a night. We knew he was going to get his, but we didn't want Crook and Hill knocking down threes on us. We did the job on everyone else. Babbitt got a lot of points, but Brian made it tough and he had to work for it.
Kyle was able to knock down five shots early for us and kept us in it when we struggled to score early. We were trying to emphasize playing hard on the defensive end. It gives us the best opportunity to win ballgames.
