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.
challenged competition good great kevin log player playing
They just have to log minutes. As good a player as Tommie is, as good a player as Kevin is, they just need more minutes. They need to keep playing and they need to keep being challenged with great competition and they'll get their mouthful on Friday.
focus games good maybe quality team wins
It's just disappointing. I don't really have good answers. ... Maybe I will (feel good about what the team has done) at the end of the year. I don't feel good right now. The quality of our play hasn't been good for two games in a row. That's my measuring stick. You focus on the quality and the wins come.
game huge matter program slice step turn
It's a huge win, no matter how you slice it. This game doesn't turn our program around, but it's a step in the right direction.
good loss mystery positive push
This is about as distasteful a loss as I can remember, and it's baffling. After Sunday's game, I thought a good positive push was going to take place. It's the mystery of coaching.
bit figured missouri saying
They have figured it out. We're every bit as good, but we haven't figured it out. I'm not saying we're better than the Missouri Valley, but we're every bit as good.
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.
defending deficiency domino gets locked quit shot shots stop
Our deficiency as 3-point shooters showed up, badly. When that happens, there is a domino effect. Once we quit making our shots from the perimeter, they stop defending us. Then our No. 1 threat, which is Ian, just gets locked down. Ian did not get a shot at the basket.
kid time
First time I'd ever subbed a kid in and out before he played.
ability adam immediate impact physical power presence provide
Adam will provide an immediate physical presence as a strong, power forward-type player, who has the ability to make an immediate impact in our program.
beyond came certainly coached guard job light lived maybe remarkable
I certainly haven't coached a better guard tandem. They've done a remarkable job this year, especially in light of the expectations that were on them when they came in. They've certainly lived up to those, and maybe beyond it.
media ready
I could tell right away before the first media timeout that we were ready to defend.
beat biggest fallen harder seem since time win
I do think it was the biggest win of the year. At the time we beat Xavier, I thought that was the biggest win, but since they have kind of fallen on harder times, it doesn't seem as big.
ability both confident everybody impact kids knew
I don't think everybody thought they would have the impact they did. I knew both kids were confident in their ability and I knew they were talented.
