entire guys lead overall played
We didn't let their other guys get going at all. Overall I thought that we had a comfortable lead the entire game, and that's because of the way our guys played on defense.
category certainly falls foul games guy plays shame
This certainly falls into the category of games where we really gutted it out. We made way more plays than they did and it would have been a real shame if we had another guy foul out and lost.
allow clearly guy horn liked running soon square tough turn
It was a tough make, but it was clearly after the horn went off. We did get it up there pretty quickly. I think by the guy running up on him, it didn't allow him to turn and square as soon as he would've liked to.
basketball division guys hoped minute played poise possession three type
We started three guys who haven't played a minute of Division I basketball in this type of environment, and I thought they showed a lot of poise right from the beginning. I thought we competed on every possession right to the end of the game, which was what we had hoped we would do.

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.

anybody conviction determined guy guys playing purpose senior

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.

You have to just gradually get your rhythm back when you're struggling a bit as he has been.
