NFA just played good defense. They took away a lot of the things we like to do with their zone defenses. We just never got into a good flow offensively the whole night.
It's all the flow of the game. We may try to limit their touches as many times as possible, but we aren't going to reinvent the wheel.
Chris doesn't score but he does so many things that people don't see. He defends, he rebounds, gets in the passing lanes, steals. You want him on the floor.
I never had a freshman shake my hand, look me in the eye, and tell me I'm ready to go. He has been just a man amongst boys for four years here. You can see he's limping and he still had a quality game. He's been a tremendous role model for anyone who wants to play basketball here.
He?s our tallest guy but yet he?s our best shooter. And for him to not be out there we?re definitely searching.
He has a lot of pride playing defense and he just chased him around all night long. ..He?s got that mentality.
The only thing wrong with this game was the final score.
He reminded me today of the Willis Reed thing.
That was a momentum shift for NFA with that run in the second quarter. They went to that half-court trap and that gave us a lot of problems. That (trap) slowed us down and created the tempo they wanted to play at.
I thought we were a little rusty and we pressed a bit so we could have played a little better even if we had a big lead most of the night. It was a tough game to get up for because (St. Bernard) is a young team and what happened with us on Friday night.
