came drive guys last ncaa short ton
I think you can overanalyze these things to where you're going to drive yourself nuts. The last two years we had a ton of guys who had NCAA experience, and we came up short in the first-round games.
couple critical defense defensive error guard guy hits leave margin playing second
I think the defense is playing hard. But still, our margin for error is not that great. There are still defensive breakdowns. In the second half, we don't guard a couple of screens, leave a guy and he hits a 3 at a critical time.
appear circumstance gave good kids
I thought our kids gave a real gusty effort. They didn't appear to be intimidated by the circumstances, which is a good thing for us.
anyone bunch guys step
I think what we need to have is have a bunch of the other guys step up. We've had different guys on different nights, but we haven't had anyone step up consistently.
beat both easily lost mean twice
Just because we beat them twice doesn't mean anything. We could've easily lost both games.
everybody finished forward game good last looking losing primarily program three wanting year
I think everybody around our program is going into this game with a good feeling, primarily because of the way we finished the season. Last year, we went into it losing two out of three and kind of scuffling, and this year were going in with everyone anxious, looking forward to it, wanting to get to the semis.
feels good hard lately monkey played
I think it feels very good to get the win. We've played very hard lately but we haven't been able to get results. We were able to get the monkey off our back.
energy everybody match played
He played very hard. We're going to need everybody to try to match the energy he's bringing.
based deserving game home last season type
Gardner had the type of last home game you'd like to have. It's very deserving based on the type of season he's had.
conference difference fifth finishing next road second win
I don't think finishing second or fifth is going to make a difference once you get to the conference tournament. In this league, everyone's the same. This was a road game. We didn't play well, but we can go out and win the next one.
agree beat best both chance common conference crop difficult easily except games lost number ourselves respect team three tournament train treat understand win
The common train of thought is that it's very difficult to beat a team three times in one year. I would agree with that, except in the conference tournament there's a number of these things that crop up. I think the way we go into it to give ourselves the best chance to win is to understand that we easily could have lost both games to them and that because of that, we need to treat them with the respect that they deserve.
ended guys played scramble strange
You've got to give the guys who played a lot of credit. We ended up having to scramble and play some of those other guys at strange positions.
fell game last strange
The last game was a real strange game. We were up big early, they got back in it, we were up right before the half, we fell asleep, we got down, they get right back. We want to get back on the right track, get back to .500 in the league.
coach gonna good kid miss shots since
The kid is a very good shooter, as good as I've recruited since I've been a coach here. He's gonna miss some shots but you have to go with him.
