I think we've been competitive with teams in our league. We haven't beaten any of them, but we have been close. We like to think we're a free throw, a turnover or a shot away, and this provides a new opportunity for everybody.
We are disappointed that we lost but I am proud of the effort the kids gave. I think we are cutting back on our mistakes and progressing each game.
We have a number of players that can go out on any given night and lead us in scoring.
It's been a tough opening stretch in the conference. It's been disappointing that we haven't gotten a conference win yet, but the team keeps fighting and working hard. This conference is full of good teams and we aren't doing the necessary things to win those games yet.
I couldn't be any more pleased. I thought our crowd was terrific. I thought they added to the atmosphere, which was tremendous today.
I was pleased with the effort, but not in the loss. We didn't play as smart or take care of the basketball like we need to or should have.
Despite our mark on the road, I think we are playing better each game. I don't think the record shows the progress we have seen as coaches on the floor.
It was nice to see Jeremy get off to such a quick start shooting the basketball.
We were not as physical in the first half as we needed to be. We got out to a fairly good start, but didn't play well in the final 10 minutes.
The kids didn't fold. We came back and continued to compete.
