shots
We got shots contested, but we just got manhandled, I think, for the first time.
basket bell contested easy pick points poison rather shot
You have to pick your poison with them. How many points did Bell have (23)? It's something you had to live with. I'd rather them take contested threes than get an easy shot at the basket inside.
eight foul percent plenty shoot shots win
That one was tough. We got plenty of shots at the basket, we win the boards, we shoot 44 percent from three, we had 25 assists and only eight turnovers, and we couldn't keep them off the foul line.
couple hit ray shots stops supposed
Ray did what Ray was supposed to do late. He hit some big shots and we got a couple of stops that were real important.
ball hand jump shots took
He took jump shots with a hand in his face. He shot the ball a lot but when he had to make them he made his share.
chance fought ourselves position quit shot
We didn't quit and fought back. We put ourselves into a position where, if we make a shot here or there, we have a chance to win.
absolutely clearly difference free game kept shot throws won
That was the difference in the game. We just kept fouling. They shot 39 free throws in our building. That had absolutely nothing to do with the officiating. That was us. That clearly where the game was won right there.
wants
In Luke's case, he's scared. He's a baby. He wants to be something.
accused agents bitter convinced fathers lottery nba prouder
I'm like one of his fathers who couldn't be prouder of him. It's a long story, but at the bitter end his agents accused me of badmouthing him to the NBA people; because they had convinced him he was a lottery pick.
academics division good iii money putting
It's not a Division I school. It's a good school, but they should really think about going to Division III and putting academics first if they're not going to put any money in sports.
bring everybody game good guy iowa nba terrific
Everybody said he would be the guy to bring up. When he was at Iowa State, I thought that guy was going to be a terrific NBA player. He had good size, and he kind of had an NBA game when he was in college.
biggest career challenge embrace few game offense pace search teams tonight utah
The biggest challenge tonight was to embrace the pace of the game and they did it again. I thought that's one of the few times in my career that any of my teams have been able to take Utah out of their offense and make them search for shots.
courage
It was huge. He's got a lot of courage.
quarter took
It was great. It was like a place revisited in my life. And I think the first quarter, it took me a quarter to kind of feel as comfortable as I should. Then once I got that first quarter over with, it was great.
