love running shot taking trying
I love taking that shot. The shot clock's running down, you're just out trying to make a play and fortunately the shot went in.
cause games guess hit line missed open shots straight win
We missed (21) straight shots. You can't win games if you go through stretches like that. I don't know what the cause of it was. We had a lot of open shots but they just wouldn't go in. I guess that is how it is sometimes in the NBA. We just couldn't hit a thing. We were even going to the free-throw line and missed shots from there.
along eventually happen saying tonight win
I've been saying all along that eventually it will happen (the triple-double) and thankfully, we got a win tonight to go along with it.
adjust games gave hard late learned playing points quarter rebound third tough
The third quarter did us in once again. We gave up 33 points in the third, and we couldn't get a rebound late in the game. Seventy-nine games into the season, we should have learned to adjust by now. It's a tough loss, but we have to keep playing hard because you don't what is going to happen.
game loss
Every game from here on out is a must-win. One loss could really be big for us.
bothered points quarter season second throughout zone
We scored 31 points in the first quarter tonight, then 28 in the second half. The zone bothered us like it has throughout the season -- we couldn't make shots.
basketball beat eye great kids looked lying team
We told our kids that anything's possible. I'd be lying to you if I looked you in the eye and said we were going to come out here and beat Purdue. That's a great basketball team we just played.
best bet couple days gym leave miss shots took
We were here a couple of days early, so I went over to a gym with him and we took shots and he didn't miss many. If you leave him open, you're in trouble. So the best bet is not to leave him open.
anxious clue opening saving sure wild
I'm anxious to see what the atmosphere's going to be like, ... It was pretty wild for the preseason games, but I'm sure they were saving some things for the opening night. I have no clue what it's going to be like. I just can't wait.
call felt job score
I felt like it but it doesn't matter. They call it how they see it and that's their job. Our job is to try to score points.
great shooting shoots
Unbelievable. I told him to keep shooting and don't hesitate. When he shoots with confidence, he's a great shooter.
closer credit ends felt gave giving hill kids score
When you find yourself down 21 after one half, that's a pretty big hill to come back from. However, I felt our kids battled all the way to the end and never gave in. The score ends up a little closer than it should have been, but that's a credit to our kids not giving up.
deep good great next people run talked team tough tournament
We had a great team this year. A lot of people talked about us being good next year, but we thought we could make a run deep in the tournament this year, so it's tough to take.
bunch confidence everybody game guys hoping knowing team
We have a bunch of guys on this team who want to be here and everybody has confidence in each other. It's not like we're going out every game hoping that we can win. I think we're going into every game now with the confidence pretty much knowing that we can win.
