came created figured guard guy hit jeff left numbers team until void willing
The big guy (Bogan) came in and D.D. (Gillespie) left and that kind of created a void at the guard spot. Jeff was willing to let his numbers take a hit for a while until he figured everything out and the team figured everything out.
athletic best effort great guards handle phenomenal shoot sneak win
They're a phenomenal team. They've got a very athletic 6-11 kid. They've got great guards that can all score, shoot and handle the ball. ... We're going to go give them our best effort and see if we can't sneak a win out.
ball came guarded looked played push successful
I thought we came out and played hard; we guarded well and got the ball down the floor. We really looked to push the ball a lot more, and I thought we were successful in doing that.
ball came court fairly guarded help night ran
I thought we came out and did the little fundamental things that help you win. We jumped the ball on defense, rebounded, guarded the ball pretty well most of the night and ran the court fairly well.
night stay took tried
We tried to stay with him all night. I thought every 3-pointer they took was contested.
couple missed turned
We turned it over a couple times when we shouldn't have, and we missed some shots.
far flow half strength
We didn't have the flow we wanted the first half as far as getting up the floor, that's a strength of our team. But we still persevered.
couple days knew last nervous
I've been a nervous wreck, to be honest, these last couple of days up here. But I knew once the tip-off came, I'd be fine.
advantage bodies bunch coach crashed deeper felt fewer great guys played pressure size uses
We're deeper than I showed tonight. I just felt with their size advantage and the pressure they were putting, I had to have fewer guys in the game. They're deep. They can come at you with a bunch of big bodies and coach Scott uses them well. They crashed the boards, got up and down and they played a great game.
barely game good guess last played
We played pretty well in spurts. It was a game of spurts, and I guess our last spurt was just barely good enough to win.
capable game gear great hope lose team tonight tough
That's a tough one. You lose a tough game like we do tonight and you got to gear back up and play a great team like Charleston. I hope we're capable of that.
defensive floor gets great job leading looks rebounds tonight tough transition
Will did a great job tonight of really leading our break. He got a lot of defensive rebounds and just started going down the floor. ... Just great looks down the floor and if Will gets us out and going in transition like that, we're tough to beat.
ball cut guys point
We made a point to get the ball into Will and the guys could cut off him. When we did that we had a lot of success.
ball came couple good knocked looks shot
We came out and shot the ball like we can. We've done it a couple of times this year, but I thought we had a lot of good looks and we knocked a lot of them down tonight.
