energy games ourselves pick reevaluate team time
We were pretty soft. We were not the team we had been in some of the games where we were battling. It was time for us to reevaluate ourselves and pick the energy up.
carries coming huge team
Every game's huge for us. But with a top-10 team coming in here, this one carries a lot of weight.
attention east game less longer pay rooting teams winning
We pay attention a little bit. I'm rooting for our Big East guys. For every game we keep winning there are less and less teams playing. The longer we can play, the better.
defensive focus halftime hang hold lead past push talked team teams though
We wanted to focus on the defensive end of the floor. When you hold a team to 49 points, that's always pretty good. The thing we really talked about at halftime was even though we were up 12, in past games, the 12 went to 10 and 8, and we let those teams hang around. We wanted to push that 12-point lead to 15 and 18, and concentrate on attacking.
game great hanging love opportunity point season sneakers teams
A lot of teams at this point in the season are hanging up their sneakers and we get the opportunity to keep playing. For a lot of us, it's a game we love to play so the NIT is a great opportunity to have some fun.
hurt injuries ncaa point season team tournament
They're a team that at one point during the season was hurt by some injuries and if not for those injuries, they'd probably be in the NCAA tournament right now.
beat both good job team
I think we had some possessions there, both defensively and offensively after we were up five, and we didn't get the job done. To beat a team like Marquette, you have to be good in those situations.
good guys happy help rebounds squeeze team
I was able to get in there and squeeze down some rebounds as well. I'm just happy I can help my team any way I can. I was just able to find guys on my team in good spots.
five lost mouth taste team winning
What'd we lose, five in a row? In all my life, I don't think I've ever been on a team that lost five in a row, so just to get the winning taste back in my mouth is good.
teams
In a lot of ways, our teams are similar.
confident definitely guys knocking line rob shoot stepping team weapon
I'm very confident in myself and Rob stepping up and knocking them down. We're a team that has guys that can shoot the ball, so the free-throw line should definitely be a weapon for us.
ball ended hands
I wanted the ball in my hands to make a big play and it ended up costing us.
good
We're a good team. We just have to get over the hump.
hopefully people played
I thought I played pretty well and hopefully other people thought that too.
