I told the kids ordsprog

I told the kids that the game would be different than practice. I was concerned because there's always an uh-oh period when you haven't played in a while. They had more energy than us at first.

The secretary told me the kids came in, they were frantic, ... We have a policy; you don't come in here with your cleats on. The kids knew that. It didn't matter. I think they were concerned. Three of the varsity kids came down to the hospital and checked on him after practice.

You're always concerned about that. As I've told our players, half of our young men haven't played in a bowl game either, and of the half who haven't, there are an awful lot of them who are playing and starting. It is a big, big day in the history of South Florida to play in their first bowl. Hopefully, we can make it a day that they won't want to remember.

I don't think we played anywhere close to our best. These kids don't know what their full potential is. We haven't put together four quarters in a game. They realize that and know they need to keep working hard in practice.

I was real disappointed with our energy. Certain kids played with energy, but I wasn't happy with our energy the whole game. A win's a win, but we need to learn how to play with energy all the time.

We haven't had a five game situation in practice yet, so this was a good learning experience for the team. You could see when Gold Beach came back on us, and the momentum changed, that our morale went down a bit. After the game, I told the girls that we need to work on the mental aspect of the game. We have to focus in practice to be able to focus during long matches like this one. Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process.

I liked the energy level they played with throughout the game. That really spoke volumes for these kids, because it's so difficult to be in this situation, with our backs against the wall. ... But like I just told them in the locker room, we don't get to take any of these points with us up north.

We've really been in a slump offensively. We haven't been bad running stuff, we just haven't been putting the ball in the basket. I think it's just a huge amount of confidence. We basically just told these kids they have to go out and play. The first quarter concerned me. I mean four points, I was worried what was going to happen and then we go out and put up 60-something over three quarters so I was pleased with that.

We will hit, it's just a matter of settling down. First-game jitters, it's okay. That's what it is with kids. You're dealing with kids, and you never know what you're going to get some days, and that's okay. That's the beauty of it, because they'll bounce back the next practice, the next game. They'll be okay. They're good kids. They played hard, they went right to the end. That's alright.

We had 17 defensive rebounds in the first half and I told the kids that's a big key to the game. We have to hit the boards which we haven't been doing consistently. We passed the ball well and we played pretty good defense so I'm pleased.

The thing that concerns me the most is that we haven't played a game since Tuesday of last week. I've instilled in the boys that we face what's in front of us. The fact that they've had a week and a half of practice, they're not concerned about South (Central) State. One of our goals was to win district. Our next goal is not attainable until this one's done.

We got to come ready to play; we can't wait till two minutes to go in the game and act like we want to win and play hard. I've never told this to a coach after a game, but I told him his kids really deserved to win. Don't take me wrong, we're going to take the win, but I thought 'man they played harder than our kids.

For all these guys, whether you're getting eight to 10 days off before a start or haven't pitched in the last series as a reliever, it's not a bad thing. You're going to have that energy and (need to) control that energy. Don't be concerned that you didn't get the ball. Don't be concerned when you get the ball.

They've played some good teams already. Like I told our kids, we haven't played Alton or East St. Louis yet like they have, so we could be in the same boat,

It's been a long time since we've won, period. Just winning a game is paramount around here. We haven't played that poorly, we just haven't put together four quarters. Tonight we were wavering a little bit but we hung with it. I liked the fight that we had out there, and that carried us through.
