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.
decided games last lost played playing step win
Last year, we played 12 games that were decided in the last 90 seconds, and we lost 11 of 12. If we win a game when we're not playing well, it's a step in the right direction.
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.
best defend defensive games reason win
The reason we were able to win is that we did defend very well. It was one of our best defensive games of the year.
behind defensive games good putting quality
We're not putting this one behind us. I'm not so into the standings and all of that. I'm into the quality of play, and for two games in a row, our defensive quality of play was not good enough.
fire full games messing somehow stopped
That's two full games where we haven't stopped anybody. Somehow we outscored Charlotte. We didn't outscore Dayton. We're messing with fire if we think that's how we can play. We have to stop people.
against bit concerned games greek looked national night played season second volume year
He played essentially a second season with the Greek national team. I'm a little concerned about that, because (Wednesday night against Rhode Island), he looked a little bit tired. I've been concerned all year with the volume of games he's played and that it could become a problem.
attempted bad basketball coming hard interested keeps quality seemed shot sustaining time tonight topic tried
I know that topic keeps coming up, but I'm most interested in quality basketball. We're having a hard time sustaining quality basketball, and tonight was as bad as it gets. Everything we tried didn't work. Every shot we attempted seemed a little off rhythm.
asked both freshman proud stepped
I'm really proud of both of those guys. I have asked them to do a lot more than most freshman and they have stepped up in a big way.
build guys kinds programs ten
Not surprised. He's a Big Ten veteran. Those are the kinds of guys you build programs around.
coaches discussion point together
That has to be the No. 1 point of discussion when the A-10 coaches get together after the season.
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.
absolutely baffling critical days extra hate love name nights possible post shot tape watch worked worse
I'm going to be really critical of myself when I watch tape to see how in the Lord's name did we not get him a shot at the rim somehow. What's baffling is we worked extra (in practice) on getting him the ball, and he didn't get one shot at the rim. There are days when I absolutely love what I do and days when I hate it. Right now, I hate it. We worked on making the post feed, and the more we tried, the worse it got. It was one of those nights when everything possible could go wrong.
bit earned impressed luke midst played position searching
I'm searching a little bit for answers. I think Luke has earned the spot. I was very impressed with the way he played in the midst of a gut-wrenching game. I thought he played really hard, I thought he played steady, solid. He didn't just get that position by default. He got it because he's played well.
