attacking hole missing needed ourselves stood
We put ourselves in a big hole by missing shots. We should have been attacking better, but we stood around and didn't do what we needed to do.
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.
capable great last magical program winning
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.
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.
backwards good harder played smarter step took whipping
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.

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.
bad contested couple defense good great job mostly shooting sleep
We went to sleep a couple of times on perimeter defense, but mostly we contested their shots. They just did a good job of shooting the ball. It wasn't bad defense just great offense.
change fans good help home program team
With 44,000 students, we have to have 10,000 fans here if they want to help our team win. We want fans to come see the home team and not just to see a good opponent. To have the program where we want it, we have to change our expectations.
playing worthy
We are worthy of playing in the tournament, but I am not politicking. We have to do more to get that chance, though.
