good performance
Gardner was fabulous. It's about as good a performance as I've seen.
leading
I could see him being one of our leading scorers,
both case coaches job players playing talk teams wanting
I don't think that's the case at all. Players and coaches talk that way all the time... about wanting it more. Both teams were playing hard. When two teams are playing hard, it comes down to execution, and Bradley did a better job of that.
days eight focused four games next pivotal playing rather ready rest time
I'd rather be playing every other day. But with four games in eight days after the OU game, we do need some rest right now, yet at the same time be focused and ready for next week, which is probably most pivotal to our season.
five guys hard looks open played shoot
I don't think they got many open looks at the basket. But, even when you shoot bad, you're going to make five of them. But, I thought we really played hard out there. Some of the guys didn't play well, but they played hard.
cause court fans final guy hesitation storm takes
The fans storm the court with no hesitation after the final horn. All it takes is one fan to (run into) a guy to cause an incident.
break excited
I'm not real excited about a break now.
four game negatives playing seed selection
I kind of thought we would be a four seed before the game even started. We are not complaining at all about the seed. That is one of the negatives about playing a game that butts right up to the selection show.
deserving hope league policy recognized team whatever wins
I hope the policy is revisited because any team in our league that wins a championship is deserving of being recognized, any sport. Whatever championship it is, you should be recognized by your conference. Obviously, we were not.
bodies main players playing second throw tired
In the second half, they were playing tired because because we were able to throw a lot of bodies at them. Their main players don't ever come out.
best chance cheap foul four game guys left minutes nine opinion playing point second sit win
In my opinion when you have depth, you should be able to sit guys with two fouls. We subbed with nine minutes left and had a comfortable lead. We're playing to win the game first, not for a point spread. We're doing things that give us the best chance to win the game. (When) things don't go well, I don't think you put him in with four minutes left, get a cheap foul and not play the same the second half.
difference forced freshmen hoped knew learn others perfect seniors underneath
I knew we'd be inconsistent. I didn't know to what level. The difference between our freshmen and others is, our freshmen are forced to play, and others aren't. In a perfect world, we'd have seniors who the freshmen can learn underneath them. We've been a little more inconsistent than probably what I hoped so far.
cracked earlier game open
The game should have been cracked open earlier than it was. But we have a way of making things interesting.
across america college next smaller wave
The game's getting smaller across America, even in the NBA. I think that's the next wave in college basketball.
