We got some good shots but nothing would fall. Defensively, we limited Danville to 35 points and that should be good enough to win.
I guess we just didn't come to play early in the game and that's my problem. We have got to be ready when the game begins. Once we got going, we played well enough. We just have to sustain a high level of play throughout the game.
It's really tough to figure out why we didn't play well early. We had a good week of practice and it looked like we were ready to go. Now that we've lost this one, our destiny is no longer solidly in our hands. We're going to have to beat Richards, win out, and rely on some other team to beat Richards again. A win here would have been big.
That's something we talked about. We may have gotten away a bit from really getting after it. We have to do that from now on no matter who we're playing.
Dykes got loose and hit some tough shots, but we did a decent job on him for the most part. I can't say enough about how hard the kids on the floor worked and how they executed everything we asked them to do. We just couldn't get the ball to drop for us tonight.
We couldn't handle their pressure throughout the whole game, and they had a little spurt and before you know it you're down 20-some points.
We have to get ready now for Plainfield South. They are another scrappy, tough team. We'll have to be ready.
He's day-to-day and hopefully we get him back soon. I had faith in these guys coming in that they would figure out the game plan and, for a half, they did a pretty good job.
We're obviously disappointed with the loss but the defense was pretty darn good. We just need more consistency on the offensive end.
