 Stevenson falls to Immaculata 66-64 Glen Clark with head coach Gary Stewart coach when you when you have a game like that Where you you don't make a three? Do you chalk it up the bad luck and say, you know, that's probably never gonna happen again or Were there mistakes made and shot selection to how do you go about looking at that? No, I thought I thought we were Playing last night's game for a second. So it was going well for us from three and so we took some shots that Were ill advised, but then we had some opportunities where we were open and they just didn't go down and that's basketball The way that this team fought back when you mentioned last night It looked at times like maybe their legs weren't there But the way that they fought back in the second half closed in that gap got into it How proud are you of the fight that they show? well, I think that our kids are resilient and You know, you go back to last week at Elizabeth town. We're down with 13 Now the key to it is not to get downed and then that deficit, but I thought we we fought and fought and fought and finally got even And then came up empty on some offensive opportunities a couple of them We had just wide open looks and didn't go down and and again, that's basketball and then conversely they came down and Scored right at the rim on three different possessions and we had played really good defense in the second half up to that point And then all of a sudden we get beat knowing that he's gonna go left He goes left and scores comes down again knowing he's gonna go left goes left and scores again And and then after at the time out we talked about it's going into tellery it goes into teller So when when those things happen, you know, you got to give credit immaculata and and we got to get better Speaking of your defense in the second half I thought Cooley really on both ends of the floor obviously turning defense in the offense and his sort of attack mode Jumped off the page at me today. Yeah, he's really really explosive and really good Competitor And I just best basketball is ahead of him So as he gets more and more acclimated to this level and and how it's officiated and how we want to play He's gonna get better and better and better I heard just your thoughts on hosting this event the Mustang classic and what your team got out of it What it did for everybody. Yeah, I think at the time will tell in relationship to what we got out of it But there's certainly some lessons for us in the two games and We knew it was going to be a challenge that their system is is difficult and they really Are good because they can get into where they need to get into off the bounce and you can't foul You're 80% free throw shooter and every all five guys are excellent free throw shooter So so that was good for us and hopefully sooner than later we can heat some of the lessons in this game and Move forward accordingly. I appreciate it. We'll see you back here on Tuesday night. Thank you Glenn. He's Gary Stewart I'm Glenn Clark. Go Mustang sports TV
