laughed
We just kind of laughed it off and said here's another one.
attacking balls came loose seemed step
We always seemed to be a step slow. They came up with loose balls and really started attacking us. ... We were on our heels.
allowed ball guards senior speaks taken
Two of our senior guards allowed the ball to be taken from them. To me that speaks to a will to win.
bad second seemed step
It was just as bad the second time. We just seemed to be out of sync, a step slow. It wasn't just one possession, but continuously.
east felt hold league quality road thinking top trying win
With the quality of this league from top to bottom, you are never going to back your way into success. I felt as if we were just trying to hold on, thinking that that we were going to back our way into a road win in the Big East Conference. It's not going to happen.
responsibility safety risk
Companies are increasingly taking responsibility for the safety of the food they sell, rather than risk their brand on a large recall.
opportunity second-chance glasses
I know what we can control, we can control our effort and we can control our approach. We do what we're supposed to do to get some second-chance points off the offensive glass, maybe our pressure can get us some easy opportunities in the open floor and we've got to capitalize.
thinking levels want
I think we've put ourselves in a position that if we can go into the Big East and compete at the level that we aspire to compete at, we'll get out of this what we want.
team fall adversity
People realize that we're certainly faced with an abnormal amount of adversity. The Cincinnati faithful is still going through a healing process with what transpired with Coach Huggins in the fall. But over the 20 games they've seen this team, I think they appreciate the fact that this team continues to fight, even though they're not always happy with the result.
country team reality
It's just the way we've chosen to deal with it. What's there to talk about The reality is that we're undermanned in a lot of areas. We're in the best league in the country. We don't have to read the paper to know that all the teams we play are quality teams.
abundance
Play fast, play athletic. You may not always have a 6-10 kid, but there's an abundance of kids, 6-4 to 6-7, that are interchangeable parts.
eventually looking recruiting shaving
Recruiting is like shaving - you had better do it every day, or you will eventually end up looking like a bum.
attacking both certainly country face hopeful hopefully job learned runs team until
I'm hopeful we learned some things from it. I don't know of another team in the country that runs that 1-3-1 (zone), and certainly no one runs it as well. You try to simulate it and until you face it, so hopefully both as a staff, and more importantly as players, we'll do a better job of attacking it.
approach certainly game hall line result team took
I don't know how a team with what we have on the line can approach the game as we did and as a result I think Seton Hall took the game to us and were certainly the better team down the stretch.
