When you're doing that stuff (ordering equipment), you're trying to get what's best for the kids.
All we do is talk about how our teams did each week.
After the game, I told the kids that nobody feels sorry for themselves and not to hang their head. We just have to respond to this and put the game behind us. We need a victory on Saturday.
Young teams sometimes just need time to learn how to win. It's a process and the frustrating thing is that it's been something different doing us in every game. Our foul shooting's been 54 percent in the five losses so that's been one constant but we've lost three of them by 4 points or less. It's hard enough to win and you lose the close games when you can't do things like make free throws.
It's funny because the team's really gotten better, even lately. Players don't see improvement during stretches like this but coaches do and it's there. Even from just six or seven games ago, we've improved in certain areas.
That was a big shot for them at the end of the half. You could kind of see that we were deflated after that shot to beat the buzzer.
We needed to take advantage of Southern Illinois' rebounding deficiency in order for us to get a win. That didn't happen.
Even though they beat us (the Broncos) in the playoffs, I'm behind them. I think that shows you what kind of a sportsman I am.
Pat puts a lot of pressure on himself to become a better player. He just could not get a shot to fall. But he did get some good looks.
