best four games good home played road worst
We've actually played better away from home. Our four road games are the best games we've played all year. Our fourth-best home game hasn't been as good as our worst road game.
energy expected game night outing quite sandwich standpoint worst
We didn't play with any energy all night long. This is the worst outing that we've had from an energy standpoint in quite some time. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game and we really didn't get after them like we could have.
gratifying league since start worst
For us to have the worst league start since (1983) and then go 13-3 is probably more gratifying than if we had started out 10-0.
best sure
I'm sure we'll get their best shot. We always do.
sure winner
I'm sure the winner will get one of those.
creating enthusiasm job remarkable sure
I'm sure the place will be full. He's done a remarkable job of creating enthusiasm and a mind-set down there.
front game good others
In front of the crowd, I thought they did a pretty good job. Julian was in a hurry. The game was in fast-forward (Friday night) for him. The others all had pretty good composure.
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.
completed information matter people sure
It's not anyone's fault. It was just a matter of getting all of the information compiled and contacting the right people to make sure that he had completed all of the requirements.
cost couple four good shooting teams three
Everybody's shooting two or three or four a game. I think with teams like that, it's why you don't shoot as good a percentage. But 8-for-17 is miserable. It's already cost us a couple of games.
game guys performers sure typical
The big guys were the better performers this game. It sure wasn't a typical game for the perimeter.
best conference finish hung instead selection strong win
The best way (for RPI) to get better is win games. Instead of getting hung up on RPI, we should get hung up on conference play. If we finish strong in the conference, it'll bode well for us come Selection Sunday.
figure game great hopefully seasons start win
It was huge, because we didn't play well at all. That's what makes great seasons ? when you figure out how to win a game when you don't play real well. Hopefully that's a start for us.
chapter chose couple dealing enjoyed focus hopefully needs next process
The thing is, Micah Downs, hopefully after today, will not warrant any of our thought process over the next couple months. Our focus needs to be on this team. Obviously, he chose not to be part of it. This is not something that we have enjoyed dealing with at all, and this chapter is closed.
