certain further individual perceived sound supportive
For us to be perceived as having a drug problem, it couldn't be further from the truth. There may be an individual that has certain problems, I don't know about that, but I do know we have one of the most sound and supportive drug policies.
approach picks top
We kind of approach it like a triangle, like we know who our top picks are, but down from there, we've got to be flexible.
anybody build goes mark season
I don't think anybody goes into the season and says, 'Hey, we want to make the NIT,' but it's still a mark of progress. It's still something to build off.

This was a big step for us because it keeps us in that range of .500 (in the conference).

We were only down about three and we started taking some hurried shots. I was disappointed we didn't stay solid.

We just could not deny him the ball.

We just wanted to work on playing inside more. You can get a lot more easy shots that way.

We just tried to stand straight up, but he kept getting to the free throw line. We just could not deny him the basketball.

advantage balls bounce gives nose opponents point quick stronger
He's a lot stronger than most of his opponents at point guard. So that gives him a big advantage, and he's quick to the ball. Any of those balls that bounce around a lot, he usually comes up with those. He's got a nose for the ball.
gets key possession touches
He gets the really fluky rebounds. Just getting possession and getting touches is key for a big man.

We were just trying to stand straight up. He kept getting to the free throw line regardless. We were trying to deny him the ball but that didn't work.

We get along off the court, but you have to get used to how everyone plays. We have to adjust as a team and get that chemistry.
chance good pick teams time
We play some pretty good teams in that time so we have a chance to pick up some pretty good wins.
