figure scoring
When we're going to the bench, we just haven't been getting a lot of scoring lately. We have to figure out a way to do that.
might mike
They might try to take Mike away with a zone, but they can't take away all our 3s.
competing good league playing situation week wins worry
They're in really, really good shape, but what we have to worry about is playing well. This is a big week for us, too, because two wins would put us in a situation where we're competing for the league championship.
move tough
There were other things, too - things we didn't do as well as we would like - but that's the way it is. It was a tough call, but you've got to live with it and move on.
active christian focused great player
I thought Christian was really a great player tonight. He was real aggressive, real active and real focused on what he had to do.
deserved game win year
I thought this was the first game all year we deserved to win and didn't.
brought deserved few game great slip toughness year
I thought this was the first game all year that I thought we deserved to win. I thought we did a great job. I think we brought our toughness to the table, and we just had a few things slip through our fingers.
air almost bubble cincinnati deserved east eight ended five force four gotten itself kicked last pick state supposed syracuse teams three utah west winning won
I thought they were supposed to pick teams, not conferences. Last year, the Big West got two (berths) because we deserved to go and Utah State won the tournament. This year, they were almost over fair. Utah State and Air Force had to be bubble teams, and if you have four or five bubble teams, you pick two and two or three don't get in. Cincinnati should have gotten in, but Syracuse ended up winning the (Big East) tournament. The Big East still got eight teams in. Cincinnati kicked itself out.
against beach call celebrate drove final game last morning next north pizza players saturday selection soon time tournament west wife
Last Saturday morning, the day of the game (the Big West tournament final against Long Beach State, a 78-70 victory), I get a call from my dad. My son's wife just had our first granddaughter back north (in Walnut Creek), so as soon as the game ended, I had some pizza with the players and went to bed, and the next morning at 5:30, I drove back up to see them, had to go 101 because the Grapevine was closed, and then drove to Stockton for the selection show. I haven't had time to celebrate, but I'll be able to celebrate that every day.
everywhere guys happens hungry people proud prove rest taken team whatever
Our guys are hungry to prove people wrong. This team has taken a lot of flak. Everywhere you turn, people are questioning how well this team can come around. I just said, 'Give it time. Give it time.' Well, here we are, and whatever happens the rest of the year, I'm going to be proud of this team.
basketball chance game great guys handled last minutes ncaa perfect played three tournament
Our guys played perfect basketball over the last three minutes. The first game of a tournament is a little tougher, but we handled it. We got through it, and now we know we need to play a great 40 minutes for a chance to go to the NCAA Tournament.
best last played round team three
I think this is probably the best team we've played in the first round the last three years.
early fast game last league tail win work
I think they will be good, I just don't know how fast they'll be good. I don't know if early we'll be as good. I don't like to say we're not going to be as good. We'll be what we are. We'll work our tail off and try to win every game and see what happens. I didn't think we'd be 18-0 in league last year, either.
limits player role
He's a role player on our team, but I think sometimes he limits his role more than he should.
