We struggled to score and that has been the issue for this team the whole season. We need guys to step up and knock down shots. When we get good, open looks, we need to make the shots, and we're not doing that right now.
We've been able to get other guys to score. Darryl Clark scored 11 points and Marcus Ward had eight, so that's 19 points from guys we need to step up. That's going to be big for us.
He had, by far, the best game of his career.
He's got a 35-inch vertical leap, so he's able to get over people and get his shot.
He was incredibly strong as we sealed up the win. He took it to the hole.
We couldn't hit anything in the fourth quarter. We were missing shots inside that were rimming out.
We know they're going to come after us. We need to keep our composure.
Without our defense, who knows what might have happened tonight. But we have to score some points. You can't win games with just defense.
We will be all right there. It's a matter of the kids making plays out there.
We hit a little bit of a funk, like we do at times, scoring-wise and making some unforced turnovers. Give Hamilton credit - they came out and extended some pressure.
Every time they came back, we had answer for them. We were able to make our free throws and take care of the basketball a little better.
Other guys are stepping up for us offensively.
Coming into this season, I don't think anybody expected us to do this. It was quite a surprise.
They got more easy baskets in the third, and we weren't showing enough intensity on either side of the ball. We were hanging our heads a little, and I tried to tell them when they feel like that they need to fight harder.
David does everything for us, and not having him in there definitely hurts us. I'm sure he would have made a difference. I don't know if he would made the difference between winning and losing.
I put him in then because I wanted to give us a spark.
The first time around, they clearly dominated from start to finish. In the second game, we were able to take advantage of our scoring opportunities and we played more composed. They didn't have anything going.
