“I thought Sears had an unbelievable practice today,” Oats said. “I thought the energy today – if everybody played as hard in the game as they did in practice today, I don’t think it would have been tied at the half.

“If we can get there, we’ll be competing for championships. If not, we’re still a pretty good basketball team, but not the level I want us to be or I think that they want to be. So that’s the goal. We’ve gotta keep drawing it, gotta keep challenging them and get them to play their best basketball.”
