I thought our defense was good tonight. I was really happy with that.
against basketball coach competing course difficult games good happy hard high hold last level maintain playing situation stretch teams trying understand whenever win
I think as a coach, what I have to understand is that the teams we're playing against are really good and they're trying really hard too. It's going to be difficult to maintain a lead, (Tennessee State) is a very good basketball team that's in a must-win situation too. These last games are all going to be very difficult. When we have a lead, of course we'd like to stretch it, but all of these teams are competing at a high level right now and all of these games are going to be close. We're just happy to hold on and win whenever we can.
along andy bringing job proud team terrific
Andy really did a terrific job of bringing the team along and bringing them together. I'm proud of the job he did.
basketball finding means open passing pleasing
A stat that is really pleasing to me is 23 assists. That means that we are really passing the basketball and finding the open man.
guy percent seems shoot shooting
They shoot it so well. It seems like every guy is shooting it 40 to 45 percent from 3. I mean, it's ridiculous.
gone guys hopefully lost mind pleasing progress
I would have thought you would have lost your mind or have gone over the edge. The pleasing thing about this is we got some guys off the bench, which will be big for us as we hopefully progress here.
appears best blow east hit physician result sit start state tennessee took
It's a result of a hit or a blow he took in the East Tennessee State game. ... When he was examined, the physician thought it best to sit out a while and let this antibiotic really start to do its job, and it appears like it is improving.
basketball beginning good great hard minutes overall played side start sustain
It's hard to play any better than we did at the beginning of the game. The down side of that is you can't sustain that for 40 minutes ... you just can't. But we got off to a great start and overall played a good basketball game.
athletic people playing remains seen tech
It remains to be seen how many people go down the stretch, but Tech will be one of them certainly. They're very talented, athletic and deep. Obviously, they're playing well right now.
high missed nashville ourselves standard
When we don't make it to Nashville we feel like we missed the mark. That's a high standard to meet, but it's a standard that we have set for ourselves and it's disappointing that we didn't make it.
ball became guard involved job people point running shot tempo understanding year
I really became comfortable with (Wright) as our point guard this year. I think he did a much better job this year of really running our team, getting people involved and understanding the tempo ? and he shot the ball better.
both compete compliment continue freshmen impressed learning mistake playing
I really like the way they both are competing. I think they are both playing hard, and that's a big compliment to both of them. They make a mistake now and then, but they're learning as freshmen and I'm really impressed by the way they continue to compete and play hard.

Because of my dual role (as men's head coach and athletic director), I've been away from campus. I'm going to get with Andy as soon as I get back and will firm his situation up.
games hand hoped manner mark move ourselves people played positive relates road win
We just weren't able to win enough games on the road to get to the 20-win mark to move ourselves up in the (OVC) standings where we hoped to be. On the other hand we did some very positive things, and I think our young people at times played in a manner that is really encouraging as it relates to the future.
