coming determined final great guys hard job playing plays team
We started off real slow, and the guys did a great job of playing so hard and coming back. Our team was almost, like, determined at one point. We just didn't make the final plays to come down the stretch.
ahead confidence last playing steps
We're steps ahead of last year. We're playing more like a team. We have confidence in each other.
against confidence east games great ncaa playing teams tournament
We got a lot of confidence from it and it's something we're going to use in the NCAA tournament. The Big East tournament is a lot like the NCAA tournament. You're playing games back-to-back. You're playing against great teams every night.
bit needed playing possession win
We got a little bit away from what we wanted to do. We were playing like we needed to win on that one possession and you can't do that.
against best competition forward great guys looking playing post problem
That's when I play my best, against the best competition. Sometimes my problem is playing against guys who don't have much of a post presence. It will be a great challenge. I'm looking forward to it.
anxious bad coaches early eight fact goes man played playing teams
The coaches just told me to be patient. I get real anxious when I see teams are playing me man-to-man. Early on, I had a lot of bad turnovers. I think that goes to the fact that we hadn't played in eight days.
send
We want to send Carl out on top.
beat coming confident good ncaa teams three
We're real confident going into NCAA Tournament. We beat three real good teams coming into (Saturday).
defensive people presenting seems setting step strategies teams
Other teams are keying in on him, setting whole defensive strategies around him. That's presenting opportunities for other people to step up. It's amazing. It seems like every game, it's someone different.
beyond feet great last marvel sit
I think that last 3-pointer he made was from 15 feet from beyond the arc. He's such a great player. When he's doing something like that, you just have to sit back and marvel at it.
easy four offense taking three
My offense was bad, and I had to keep taking three or four opportunities to get an easy basket.
falling night played shots tough
That was a tough game. We played real hard. The shots just weren't falling tonight. It just wasn't our night.
defense focus guys helping helps hitting inside men opens people shooting stepping stretch team
People always try to focus on the inside part of our game. When you have guys like Ronald stepping up and hitting perimeter shots, it opens up everything else because they have to stretch their defense and play the perimeter. It widens the lane. It helps the big men out tremendously. The way he's been shooting the ball, it's been helping our team dramatically.
constant demanding fast games hardest physically running
Lacrosse is fast paced and I like fast paced games. It's demanding physically and has the hardest conditioning of any sport. You are always running if you are not sprinting. It's constant movement.
