bounce came concerned guys hoping loss played winning
I was more concerned with winning this game, hoping our guys could bounce back, than I was with any jinx. I was more concerned with how we came out and played after that loss to Kent (State).
chance players quick
We never had a chance tonight. I told our players that we didn't know how quick they were.
distract early guys
We told our guys early on that we're going to play or we ain't going to play. You can't let things like that distract you.
goes man offensive past sit team
Here's what we're going to do. The first man on our team that goes to the offensive board, he's going to sit on the bus, because we've got to get back. If you don't, he'll go right past you.
played shots
We played hard, but we couldn't make the big shots tonight.
ball defense dropping four help maybe pass post teammate three tough
You could say the post defense isn't doing very well, but maybe his teammate isn't dropping down for a double-team, or maybe the person guarding the ball isn't pressuring the ball. It's tough to pass into the post if you're pressuring the ball. There could be three or four things wrong, and usually are. You need to be accountable and help each other be accountable.
card good main players threw wild
The main thing I told the players was we wanted to play good basketball, and we did. Then they threw the wild card at us.
