attack ball bit moving reason second tried
We got a little bit better in the second half. We got the ball moving and tried to attack inside. It's the way we have to play, and it's the reason we had a chance.
ball difficult great played playing time
I think he has played that way all the time, we've just had a difficult time getting him the ball consistently where he can do great things with it. But I think he has been playing great all year.
ability ball catch guy knows man pass teammates
He has more than the ability to just put the ball in the basket. He's a guy that not only makes baskets for himself, but he really knows how to pass and he really knows how to set his teammates up where all they have to do is catch and dunk. Man alive, he knows how to play the game.
athletic ball basket finish foul line quite
We couldn't get the ball to the basket because of athletic ability, couldn't finish enough plays, couldn't get to the foul line quite as much as they did.
ball basket destroy great guy guys hope knows send stop totally
You can't stop a big guy like that. You just have to hope he doesn't totally destroy you. If you do too much, and send too many guys his way, he is a great passer. He just knows how to put the ball in the basket and make everyone better.
ncaa teams work
There are a lot of teams out there that will do well in the NCAA Tournament. But there are a lot of teams that still have work to do, and we're one of those teams.

We always try to push the ball. Sometimes we just have a little more success than we do at other times.

We lucked out last week, but it was a magical win. It's a great program capable of winning the championship this year. We have to muster enough to be as competitive as we can.
chance meant program talking
We wouldn't be talking about having a chance to play in the postseason. And the development of this program wouldn't be where it is now. He's meant everything to us.
both credit deal either great hard loss offense played teams tough
This was a really, really tough loss for us. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side; you credit the defenses, but it's a tough one.

We got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. Give them all the credit. We took a step backwards tonight.
carries confidence guys physical trying
We just keep trying hard. We're not an imposing, physical team, but we do play very well together, and that's what carries us through. Our guys have a lot of confidence in our man-to-man defense.
mental
We just made so many mental mistakes, and that's embarrassing to me. And that is my fault.
bad both credit deal either great hard offense played teams
We were really bad on offense, but we have to credit their defense. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side.
