We threw a few guys at (Lucas) trying to keep fresh legs, and there were a couple of times we tried to run a play at him to get him to give the basketball up and then try to not let him get it back if we could. But he seemed to get it back a little bit more than we wanted.
I have a fantastic group of kids. It's an honor to win such a competitive league, but there is still a lot of work to do.
They weren't gonna stop (Jones). He was gonna be attacking the rim. He was gonna score or get fouled. This guy's clutch. This guy's a money player.
We were in trouble at times, and yet our kids never quit. We got some big stops and I thought we played one of our better games tonight.
Everybody in a game like this second-guesses themselves.
I firmly believe it's one of the ? of not the ? best conference in the entire state.
They tried to take him right out of the ballgame. To his credit he didn't force it. (His teammates) can't rely on him to do everything. When people see what his teammates can do, they have to decide if you want to play Johnny that way.
We're a team. We've been a team all year. We've got to have other guys step up - and they did.
I told him, 'Mike, I've got this feeling about you, and you're going to do something big tonight,' and I'm glad it worked that way.
