Rodney Selph Quotations

He hit his first couple of 3-pointers, and I thought he got some good baskets off transition. He played, well, his normal game. But credit the other guys for giving him the ball in the right spot.

We've done that a lot this year. We came out strong early and got the lead and it was a nice time to do it. Our intensity level was really high and we were playing smart and taking care of the ball.

Going into conference, we're not going to have any games like this. From here on out, every game is extremely important.

He's just one of those kids that is successful at whatever he does. He's willing to put in the work, and that shows.

Our free throw shooting was horrible. Leave it up to a coach to find something wrong, but that's hard to figure out.

Our league is so tough and we don't have a lot of nights where we could do this. It was a nice team effort.

We never should have put ourselves in that big of a hole to start with. We played so poorly offensively. Give Ozark credit because they played solid defense. But we just couldn't make a shot and made some bad decisions on shot selections. Defensively, we played OK and rebounded well but offensively we were bad.

We haven't had a big bruiser that can bang around like that in a while. We can match up in the post better now. In the past, we've had to work in practice every week on coming off of people to double down on the post.

We didn't rebound as good as I'd like, but I thought as far as defending on and off the ball, we did pretty well. For the most part, it was a pretty good team effort.

We play eight or nine players, so I'll think we'll be OK. We'll lose some scoring, but these things happen. Other guys will just have to step up. We'll play hard and see what happens.

Those were big-time shots and we battled and battled. But overall we didn't take care of the ball or do the things late that we needed to do to win Ozark did.

We came out and got some easy baskets off our transition. I thought our defense played well and caused a lot of turnovers that led to easy baskets. I thought we shot the ball well, too.

We've worked Dennis inside a lot in the past but got away from it this year because we've got two other posts. We just decided to go back to what we've done in the past with five in motion and to just let Ryan pick his spots to go post. He was able to do it and he scored a ton inside tonight.

Theo has really played well. He's one of our best defenders.

Actually, I thought I was going to throw up. We got lucky, but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

You don't start changing things. You just have to go do the things you have done.

It's all about having fun. But you still are going down there for a purpose and that is to try to win.

It's not like he's throwing up 30 shots a game. He's making good decisions and doing whatever he can to help this team. He's a big reason we're playing as well as we are. He's playing like it's his last year and playing really well.

It seemed like there was a lid on that thing. But that happens sometimes. You just hope it doesn't happen in the state tournament.

Their post players did a good job of just getting in the way and denying us. We had some success but they put some pressure on us up high and we committed too many turnovers.

I'm glad he's mine. I'd hate to have to figure out a way to guard him.

In the central and south parts of the state, the style of play is a little more physical. We are going to see a lot of man-to-man defenses.

He's working hard for it. He's drawing the other team's best defender every night. He's making sure he's taking quality shots and making good decisions.

Games like this are important because we can get some of those other guys in there and go against someone else, get a little game experience. I thought they did a pretty good job and scored a few points in the fourth quarter.

The first half, we played really well. We shot the ball really well, defended great and rebounded great. The first half was really good, but in the second half we had some things we need to work on.
