I talked to the kids yesterday and said we should have one of the best shooting teams in East Texas. And we haven't been. We've been finding other ways to scrap up wins. We have good shooters, and I hope today will kind of break that ice for us.

I think in the first half we shot ourselves in the foot because every time we'd try to make a surge we turned it over. We were being too unselfish. We were trying to make one or two too many passes. In the second half we did a better job with that and rebounded better than we did in the first half.

We played eight games in about a 10-day stretch and didn't have a lot of practice time. I think it wound up hurting us some.

You know discipline means to do things well and to do it to the best of your ability even if you don't feel like it. We're really not too far from where we were earlier when we were winning, but it feels like a long way. The difference is our mental expectations. If we needed any extra incentive we should have it in this game because the kids know each other so well.

We seemed rattled in the early going that things didn't go our way, but I thought we hit some shots in the second half and played better. We're still battling. Our expectations are much higher than just playing hard and competing. As long as I'm here we're going to go into these games with the expectation of winning.

What it's going to take is making more shots and a few more plays.

Bank of China is a long-term customer of NCR. We are excited to see the bank move forward in its deposit-automation strategy by further migrating deposit transactions from the teller counter to the self-service channel.

That's not an excuse because we're going to see the same type of speed and defensive pressure every night in this district.

Tatum will be tough. Their record (7-12, 0-1) isn't indicative of how good they are. They'll be ready to play and ready to get back in the win column.

It's important we get Rocco back into our rotation and into a good rhythm before we start district play.

In the first four of five games we only made about 52 percent of our free throws. Our kids have responded by shooting 78 percent since then. Right now, we're shooting about 67 percent.

Carthage will be as tough or tougher than anybody we've played in district, so we've got to be ready.

The entire day went incredibly well. Campsite, cabin, and pavilion reservations were made, as well as whitewater launch time reservations and information fulfillment requests, a Pennsylvania application requirement. This had not been accomplished before for any other state. You now have, in my opinion, the best reservation system in the country with top quality service.
