great second took top tough
They made it tough for us. They took away our top scorer. They made some great adjustments in the second half.
basketball both good options
They're both good basketball players. I like having those options with those guys.
easy tough
They're not going to give you easy baskets. They make it tough to get to the interior.
bigger learn
That's just disappointing because we had opportunities. We have to learn from this game. This is kind of a rerun in the rebounding department. To me it's one of the bigger indicators we have.
chemistry coaches goal people priority team
Young people do what they see. It has to be a priority from the coaches down to the players. Team chemistry comes from having the same goal and same agenda.
challenge league teams three
There were only two or three teams in this league right now that really challenge at the end, and we were one of them.
defense game good
And their defense has not been spotty. It's been good game to game.
basket came few hard judgments
As hard as Leon was working, I thought he had opportunities to go after the rim a few times, and we came away with no basket and a foul. In my opinion, there were some questionable judgments in those situations.
lighting plays scout team
This is something he's done in practice. He plays on the scout team and he's lighting us up.
appearance game knew
This game we knew was not about appearance or style. It was about grit.
ball hands trying
They're trying to get the ball in Hairston's hands more.
judgment
I thought there was some questionable judgment in those situations.
deserve matters ncaa opinion
I think we do deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. But I don't think my opinion matters much. I don't have a vote.
saw team
I saw what our team can do when it's healthy.
