best chance coach difference group hardest kids plays stays trying whatever win
There's not a whole lot of difference between any of the teams. I think the group of kids that plays the hardest and stays into whatever their coach is trying to do has the best chance to win it.
kids played
Those are the breaks, and these kids have played hard.
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.
second
I started him in the second half, that's how it works. If you produce, you play.
aggressive created forced react
They were the more aggressive team. They created opportunities for themselves. And we were forced to react to them all night.
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.
bit gradually rhythm struggling
You have to just gradually get your rhythm back when you're struggling a bit as he has been.
active best both ends game nice played
This is the best game he's played in college. He was very efficient, very active on both ends of court. He did a real nice job.
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.
aggressive beat defensive pressure themselves
They don't beat themselves and they're very aggressive in the defensive end. They put a lot of pressure on you.
credit deserves designed game good minutes offensive plays teams worst
It's a play that's designed to get him a shot, but I can't take too much credit. I designed plays for 39 minutes in this game that made us look like one of the worst offensive teams in history, so ... he deserves the credit for making a really good play.
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.
ball difficult handle took
They took us out of everything. They make it difficult for you to handle the ball on the perimeter.
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.
