agenda coaches guys head hear help mentioned messes players responding seem stop trying valid win
Scott mentioned something to me about it. It's a valid point. There are times when the coaches kind of seem like they're always on the players and players just stop responding just because they feel as if they can do nothing right. It kind of messes with your head a bit. So when you hear it from the guys -- that our agenda is to win and we're trying to help each other and be there for each other -- it relaxes you a little bit.
focus games lose win
When we were up 2-0, we were pretty excited. We thought we just had to win two games. Those two games never came. You kind of lose focus when you're up 2-0.
chances formula limits percent shooting success
Our formula for success is our defense. When they're shooting plus-50 percent each game, that limits our chances to win.
felt good plays takes team whatever win
It felt good to make some big plays for my team down the stretch. Whatever it takes for this team to win is what I'm going to do.
elite games national sweet toughest
Some of your toughest games come in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Usually, this is where we feel national championships are won.
bounce found legitimate tough
That was probably my first legitimate tough stretch. I always found a way to bounce back.
high start
That's the story all year. We start to tighten up. It's frustrating because we had such high expectations, and we're not getting it done.
early easy
I think early on, we thought everything would come easy for us.
adversity execute offensive overcome team throughout
We were able to execute on the offensive end. We know this team is going to (have to) overcome a lot of adversity throughout the year, and we showed that tonight.
defense hard percent played shot shots stepped
We played hard and our defense stepped up. They only shot about 32 percent (23-of-71) from the field, but they made the shots down the stretch.
effort good losing maintain period streak tonight
When you're on an eight-game losing streak and can get one, you feel really good about yourself. Now we just to maintain the effort that we had tonight and do it for a long period of time.
guys
We pretty much have the same guys back, doing the same things.
control entire finish game knock year
We just didn't knock them down. This is a game we were in control of pretty much the entire time, and we just didn't finish it off. It's kind of been the story all year long.
definitely good team veteran
When you see that, especially with a veteran team like that, definitely it was good for us.
