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.
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.
deep great guys hard heck paid personal speaks team volumes work
That just speaks volumes of how deep of a team we are. On any other team, a lot of these guys all would probably be first team. ... It's a heck of an accomplishment for our team. It's a great personal accomplishment for those guys that made it. Hard work paid off.
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.
credit great guys senior showing
They've been all showing great leadership. This senior group, I credit these guys with how we play.
bit figuring guys hopefully last man month movement offense ready season
I thought our man offense (Tuesday) was a little bit better than it had been. We still need a little more movement -- guys are still figuring out when to come off screens, when to set screens. But, that's what we've got this last month of the season to get ready for. Come March, hopefully we'll be ready for that.
entire few game good guys instead learn minutes win
Our guys have to learn how to play well for an entire game instead of a few minutes here and a few minutes there. Luckily, we were able to play good enough just long enough to win today.
breaks came good guys heart jackson jump love maybe roaring seat seemed stopped teams
Our guys are tough. They got a lot of heart. I love the way we play. We didn't give up. We came roaring back and I thought we were maybe going to jump in the driver's seat for a minute. Jackson stopped that. Tonight, it just seemed like the breaks went their way, but good teams make their breaks and they made some tonight. They put it on us.
care gets guys love
I love this team. These guys are so unselfish. They don't care who gets the credit, they just want to win.
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.
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.
