It was a competitive atmosphere ? that's for sure. Give Northwest credit. We had our chances, but they always seemed to run a dagger into us to make sure the game wasn't over.
Corey gives us a nasty post rotation with K.J. Sherrill and Wesley Turner. He's one of those guys that talks on the bench and communicates on the floor.
We did those things. Of course, if you do those three things, you'll beat a lot of teams, not just East.
That took a lot out of us. That was the heart and soul of what we try to do. We showed a lot of character and a lot of poise, but we've just got to get better.
Wes is under the microscope more than any of our guys because we seem to play as he plays. I thought he gave us complete focus in the finals. Even when he got in foul trouble, he came to the bench and kept his focus.
It's like right after lunch, after you've had a 12-inch sub, eaten your chips and had your drink. We settled in and said, 'Let's go and get this building done today.' We did a good job of being workmanlike.
Usually when our guys go up to shoot, they either make it or miss it, but they're all alone up there. Venable contested so many shots. I was very impressed with his spring.
Thank God Mooresville's got that soft rim. I noticed it all night. That thing kind of hit the front and kind of looked like a putt at the end where you think it's dead and then it just kind of drops.
We did a good job of not going for fakes. And Turner had some massive, high-elevating, snatch-it-down rebounds.
