anyone bob came excuses gave kicked leading lost ourselves proud
I'm so proud of our team, we've been through so much. I was proud we were able to come out and fight. We lost our leading scorer and our third- or fourth-leading scorer and we still came out and never gave ourselves any excuses from (the dismissal of Bob Huggins) to anyone getting kicked off the team. We never gave ourselves any excuses.
hurdles overcame proud tonight
I'm so proud of our team. We have been through so much together. We overcame a lot of hurdles all year. Even tonight we didn't give any excuses.
ball deserved focus game whatever
I told E before the game that I was going to look for him as much as possible. He deserved a game for us to focus on him and let him do whatever he wanted to do. We wanted to get him the ball because he deserved his homecoming.
deserved focus game hard plays practices whatever
I told 'E' before the game that I'm going to look to you as much as possible. He's a senior. He deserved for us to just focus on him and let him do whatever he wanted to do. He plays hard and practices hard. We just wanted to get him the ball.
beat free games hit lost saying seal throws today
It just rimmed out. I ain't going to beat myself up saying that I lost the game. I've hit a lot of free throws at the end of games to seal the deal. Sometimes they go my way. Sometimes they don't. Today they didn't.
definitely
It was definitely one we let get away. We should have had this one.
bigger forward looking year
They're never on TV. Every year they go to the NIT. They look forward to going to the NIT. I was looking for bigger things.
game homecoming spot
They was on me pretty heavy, but I didn't think it was a right spot for me. Being a home-state team, you know I cheered for them a little bit, but not that much. It's a homecoming game for me.
teams turn
They were one of those teams that we were so much better than them, we thought we could turn it on and off.
coaches
They were way down the list. The coaches don't like that, so they're going to have it in for me. That's why I've got to come and play.
coaches maybe
They were way down the list. I know the coaches don't like that, so maybe they'll have it out for me.
gets
It's just Eric's will to win. He was just talking. He gets a little emotional. That's all it was. It was nothing serious.
against coaches toughness
It's us and the coaches and everyone against us, that's what we need to get that toughness in it.
hard people prove round wrong
It's hard to get up for the NIT. But, we can't prove people wrong if we can't get out of the first round of the NIT. We're still here battling.
