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.
team toughest
They're the toughest team ... toughest team I've ever seen. Not close, and I've been around some tough teams. Really tough. Really tough.
bunch close fitting fought game games hard loss season tough won
It was a tough loss and a hard fought game. It was a very competitive game. I thought it was very fitting the way the game ended. We had so many close games all season long. We won a bunch of them in that fashion.
good great hat toughness
They've got a really good team, and it's a really good home-court advantage. I take my hat off to the toughness of our team. It was a great win.
good people says seen seven string together tougher
For us to be able to string seven (victories) together when things didn't look so good says a lot about the kind of people we have. I've never seen a tougher team.
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.
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.
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.
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.
