“We were obviously inconsistent. Downers Grove South was a big reason for that. They challenged every cut offensively and those two big guys just limit your shots. To make matters worse, we allowed our offensive troubles to spill over to the defensive end.”
“There was just no flow to this game for us. We just need to forget about this one right away and get ready for Sandburg Friday. Sandburg is playing much better these days. We need to pick it up and be ready to play.”
“They were really adept at finding the open man. They're obviously a talented group — you don't win 17 of 19 without some talent. They're good shooters and they have the ability to force you just a half-step or so out of your range when you're looking to get off shots.”
“We wanted to slow it down to help us cope with a height disadvantage. We were able to slow the tempo for a time, but they're just a gifted bunch with good quickness and size. That can be a tough combination to overcome.”
“We got some early turnovers. We took advantage a little of them not starting their regular lineup. We controlled the tempo except for that one flurry.”
“Earlier in the year we really lived and died with the 3. We've been seeing a lot of zone defenses lately and we couldn't totally rely on the 3 anymore, so we've been taking it inside quite a bit lately with a good amount of success. I think that has definitely helped us a lot.”
“A lot of teams have been zoning us for some reason lately. We practiced being patient, trying to get the ball inside first and settling for the perimeter shot second.”
