It definitely did. Our guards tried to force some passes that weren't there. Our guard play has got to improve because we didn't play with much poise when we needed to.

We jumped on them in the first quarter. The kids were very focused. They showed up ready to play.

(Holy Cross) showed a lot of poise to get back in the game. We went back to our old ways of trying to playing too fast. We were able to hold them off, though, and made a late run to pull away.

Any time you see a balanced scoring column like that, that's a mark of a good team.

Our plan was to push him away from the basket and make him use a dribble if he was going to make it to the basket and we didn't want the ball to come to him and have him be able to fan it out to the guards.

Our players have stayed positive even though we haven't come up with some wins. There's been some negativity surrounding our program, and the kids haven't listened to it.
