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.
amount both brought energy fought game guys hard involved last lucky minutes seen
I've never been involved in a game where every person brought that amount of energy to the floor. I've never seen it where guys fought for so hard for 40 minutes on both sides. We just got lucky and made the last shot.
best coach definitely guys highest jeff missouri quite recruit style teams
The style of play with Missouri will be quite different. Coach Huggins will definitely recruit at the very highest level, and his teams always play with unbelievable intensity. And Jeff is one of the best young guys in the country.
attention bounce glad goes guess guy happened happy people wish
People thought P.J. didn't play all that well at our place, but he's where all your attention always goes (defensively). I wish it was not at our expense, but I'm really happy to see a guy bounce back after what happened at the end of that game. I guess I'm not that happy. But I was glad for him.
definitely guys knows pass teammates
He's one of those guys you'd definitely like to coach. He really knows how to pass the ball, and he knows how to set his teammates up.
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.
afraid guys offense shots
These guys aren't afraid to miss. We made some shots today. That makes your offense look a lot better.
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.
destroy guy hope stop totally
You can't really stop a guy like that. You just hope he doesn't totally destroy you.
good hard
I know that it's hard to make baskets in this league. I would say it's really good defense, but I don't know. We'll see as we go.
fight knew works
I knew we would fight every game. If you do that, it usually works out in the end.
against almost bounce concern drained emotional emotions game great impossible involved major team win
After such an emotional win against such a great team (UT) in such a great setting, it's almost impossible to bounce back and get your emotions in check. It was a major concern for us. I think everyone involved in that game was probably drained today.
paying question
No, I think we were already in. I'm not a politician, but if you're paying attention, there's no question about it.
captured fun interest name until watch
They captured everyone's interest and imagination. ... It was fun to watch them until they called our name to play them. Then, it wasn't so funny.
