He has been due for a long time. He hadn't been hitting those jumpers for awhile, but he and his dad shot a lot in the old gym yesterday. Maybe he's working his way out of a shooting slump. It's all a matter of confidence.
It was a great coaching move. We had worked on it yesterday in practice. It slowed down the tempo, and we just didn't attack the basket enough.
We executed better on our sets, and our inbounds play was better tonight. And we were a lot more patient in the second half.
It was a team effort tonight. And that's important. They listened, they played defense, got some good stops, and we had some good runs.
What a great atmosphere it was tonight. It's an awesome ending to a very difficult week.
McNeill is a junior and he's gotten a lot better. He has a great mid-range jumper. He makes or breaks them.
I thought right then that we were going into overtime.
