I sort of thought that we got out of our game plan today. You could even see it in the first half. I wasn't very pleased with the way we were playing. I thought we were hurrying our offense a little bit. That's not necessarily our style.
That's one of the things in the second half of the season that I would really compliment our kids on is they finish games really well. Tonight, we didn't. We had to hang on.
We cannot look back on that game other than to say we know a few things about certain players. We're a different team from then, too. I think we're a little better than we were.
I think we're playing pretty well. I will always say that we could play better, but I don't think we're playing poorly. I would like to see us smooth out our game a little more.
He could impact a game in so many ways that he didn't always need to score. We don't often have a prolific scorer in our system. I was even able to hold Kenny Battle down to 18 points a game.
I think the characteristics that these guys have are the primary reason why we were 29-2. They're a fun team to coach. A bunch of nice young men. From a standpoint of whether we could get to Peoria or not, we just kind of took that one game at a time this year.
