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.

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.

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.

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.
harder played steps took
They played harder and much, much, much, much smarter. That's where I thought we'd really improved, but we took a lot of steps back tonight.
days defended defense far free magical played seemed shots throws today
As far as everything working right, some days we have played better defense and some days we have played better offense, but today was one of those magical days where everything just seemed to go right for us. The shots went in, the free throws went in and we defended well.

He hasn't played much, but we have confidence he'll make the play if he has the ball.

I know for a fact we haven't played better than this in two years than we did today against a real, real, real good team. Some days we have played better defense, some days we have played better offense, but today was one of those magical days where everything just seemed to go right for us.
coached good harder played smarter whipping
Got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. ... They executed, played with discipline, they played hard, they got to the basket, they did what they were coached to do. They have good players, and I can see why they are getting better in a hurry.
mental
We just made so many mental mistakes, and that's embarrassing to me. And that is my fault.
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.
arena based conference people stuff talking teams today watched
Our conference isn't getting enough respect. There are too many people out there talking that haven't watched our teams play. They weren't in this arena today and they weren't in a lot of different arenas, they just make assumptions based on stuff that's not factual.
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.
