We had a tough draw and I was hoping we could come back and put a good effort together. But on the whole, it was sub-par.
We wanted to be able to jump on them early. Then we wanted to work on some things, we haven't been on the floor in a while. We accomplished what we wanted.
I wanted Bryce to start going to the hoop. Troy Turner was guarding him and he was in foul trouble. We wanted to take it at him and score or get the foul.
This means a lot to us because we lost the conference tournament (to South Central) on a last-second shot. To win the conference, you have to go out and put it all on the line for seven nights, and we were able to do that. I think we were picked third or fourth in the preseason.
In a phrase, speed kills. It was a tale of two games. We did what we wanted in the first half and they did what they wanted in the second half.
In effect, we have a bye game also, which I'm happy about. It's one of those deals that's got its pros and cons. We've been playing pretty good basketball, so hopefully the time off won't have an ill effect. At the same time, there's a chance maybe to rest some weary legs and see our opponents. I like that idea also.
All of the sectional championships are sweet. There is no sweet scale when it comes to sectional championships.
Morgan came out really loose. They had a chance at the championship. Luckily for us the got into foul trouble.
On the last (travel), I thought we had a timeout called. We couldn't get a break, especially down the stretch. But in a game like this, you can find a million things like that.
Good, bad or indifferent, we got the win. We had the right guys at the line.
He can shoot the ball. His form is better than Bryce's. He and Jake have a better pure shot.
Joe did an outstanding job on Biggs. We didn't want him shooting 3s.
