It was a good win to get. It was just a battle the whole way. Nobody could hit a shot. Either team. It was just a struggle. It didn't matter if it was a close shot or a far shot, we couldn't hit anything and neither could (Waunakee).
We've had three overtime games this year, and we've lost them all, and in every one, we've gotten down right off the bat and that's something we have to work on.
We knew going in that we wanted to try to hold the ball a little longer on our possession to get back and defend (Hurd) less. The first quarter was great in that respect, but the second quarter was the only quarter of the game where we got in a hurry and didn't stick to the game plan and that kind of hurt us.
This group (of seniors) is so unique. In 15 years of varsity coaching, I have never had a group so close in all the kids. They truly enjoy being together.
They really hurt us on the boards in the fourth quarter when we needed a rebound.
Normally we shoot a zone out with threes. Luckily they weren't doing much better.
I think its going to bother them for a while. But these guys are mentally tough and I expect them to battle back.
Chad only had four points, but in the fourth quarter, he was aggressive, and he's a hard kid to guard in the open court when he goes to the basket.
