We didn't run it precisely like we could draw it on the board, but certainly we did enough, and he was able to break free for just long enough to set his feet and rise up and hit a big shot.
The ability to step up and make free throws shows you a lot about our team. We're a little young ourselves, but we're making plays with the youth that we have, which is quite encouraging.
When you're not making field goals, one positive thing you can do at the offensive end is get to the free-throw line and make free throws.
We won the game because we defended, our press helped us and we got to the foul line and made free throws. I think because we defended pretty good the whole game, we got to the foul line.
As the quarterback on defense he's doing all of the checks and making all of the calls. That's a big challenge for a free safety to get 10 other players in the right position on every play.
We're usually 69, 70 percent at the line. If you're not making field goals, the next thing you try to do is try and make it up at the foul line. We had 28 free throws, but we couldn't make those, either. It was that kind of night for us.
Sometimes, it's not as pretty as it needs to be. But when you get to the foul line and make free throws, you've got a chance.
The guy guarding Darrell gets hung up in all that confusion, so (Mitchell) is able to break free for a count, and he was playing so well tonight that you can't give him that kind of room.
