coaches discussion point together
That has to be the No. 1 point of discussion when the A-10 coaches get together after the season.
came last left ready summer
I told Ian when he left last summer that he had to come back ready to be the centerpiece of our offense. He not only wanted it, but he came back here to do it.
move rough stretch
It's an unfortunate way to end the season. We had a rough 10-day stretch here to end it. But such is life. We move on from here.
memories team simple
Again, we just blew our chance, it's that simple. I'll be the first one to take the blame. Everyone's a part of it. To the credit of our players, they put us in position after being .500 for the better part of the season, but we told them going into the Dayton game this team will be remembered positively or negatively by what happened in March. There will be some negative memories about this season because of what happened in March. That's the cold, hard reality.
became fan fun
Wow. From my vantage point, that was fun to watch. I became a fan there for a while. He was really spectacular.
easier free hard paid whenever
Whenever you have a five-man that makes free throws, it makes it a lot easier because he's going to get fouled the most. He's been working hard and it's paid off for him.
designed great player
Tommie didn't get a great shot. There's a great player that made a great play. It wasn't a great designed play. He just made it work.
found good lose reason sign tonight win
They had every reason to lose tonight and they found a way to win and that's the sign of a good team.
affects confident feeling full hands kids rest slump talent work
They're in a little slump right now. That affects a lot of things. I've been in Sean's situation, and he's got his hands full for the rest of the year, just to keep his kids feeling confident in their abilities. He has to really work to keep the kids engaged, because he's got talent there. Those kids are gifted.
exceeded knew publicity quality ton
They're getting a ton of publicity in St. Louis. They have not exceeded my expectations, because my expectations were very high. We knew they could come in and give us quality minutes.
dream struggling year
A year ago, we were struggling for survival. At least now, we can dream a little bigger.
ball early game happened hard keys poor shoot shooting time turning
That's not the way we scripted the game to start. It just snowballed from there. One of the keys was for us to shoot the ball well early so we didn't have that self-perpetuating problem. This has happened to us before where we get off to a poor shooting start, and we really have a hard time turning the tide.
bad dating died games good last literally lost news straight winning won year
That's how it's been for us. It's been unbelievable. We've literally won and lost for 19 straight games (dating to last season). The good news is last year I would have died for that. The bad news is that we can't get on a winning streak.
along confident kevin known looked memory shots tip vivid
All along I have known they are confident players, but they don't do it in a boastful way. Tommie is not intimidated by anybody. I have this vivid memory of how we were about to tip it off at (North) Carolina, and he looked like he had been there 25 times before. Kevin is the same way. How many big shots has he made in every setting?
