I thought they were in trouble when they left here, but they rallied. They will be in every game because they defend.
We controlled the game for most of it but let it slip away. We missed open looks. We could have hammered them. They got that little run and we never recovered.
They have been playing well. I come into every game thinking it is going to be close. I thought it was going to be a nip-and-tuck game. We just got it done on defense.
Twelve minutes. We got into the locker room at 7:58, and we talked about until ten minutes after 8. That was it. I don't want to bring it up again. We have to move on because we have four tough games left.
We put on our board (in the locker room) the word 'spurt.' Teams play even. Then somebody goes on a spurt and then another. Most games are won by spurts. Whoever has the most spurts wins games.
It's another game that we need to win to get ready for the MAC Tournament and to help our postseason chances.
The biggest difference between the two teams isn't talent, it's that belief factor. Teams that haven't won have that doubt in their mind. We won a lot of close games last season and our kids believe in themselves.
It looked like it was going to be a 6-0 game there for a while.
