beat beaten double figures james team
There's no way that team would've beat us with James and Jihad. We would've beaten them double figures with those two.
beat committee deserved everybody game hard lay prove selection teammates telling win
What I've been telling my teammates is let's go out and win. If we just go and lay down and get beat the first round, the (NCAA) Selection Committee is going to say, 'I told you. They can't even win a game in the NIT. What makes you think they deserved to be in the (NCAA) Tournament?' So I just told them let's go out and play hard and win it, just to prove everybody wrong.
beaten james senior starters team
Two senior starters let us down. There is no way that team would have beaten us with James and Jihad. We had to play a walk-on out of position. We never made excuses.
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.
beat supposed team
We didn't come to play and we got what we deserved. There's no way that team is supposed to beat us by 17 or 18 points. I'm disappointed in myself.
means win
We just told each other we had to get a win by any means necessary.
andy coach coffin head nail shut
We just told each other we can't lose. This is the way (interim head coach Andy Kennedy) put it - someone was going to be a nail and a hammer. Someone was going to have their coffin shut tonight. We couldn't let it be us.
either overrated
Either they're overrated or we're underrated, one of the two.
deep took
When it rimmed out, I took a deep breath. I thought it was going in.
break confidence wall wrong
I'm speechless. I'm so disappointed in myself. It's just a wall. I've got to find a way to break that wall and come out. My confidence is there, I'm just not playing. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just not playing.
answer coach head plays university
I can't really answer that. As of right now, I'm going to see how it plays out and see who is the head coach at the University of Cincinnati.
cincinnati growing
Growing up, Cincinnati was tough, bad, in your face. We're getting it back. Back to the old days.
concerned living thinking whatever
Right now I'm just living on this. After the season, whatever happens, happens. Right now I'm not even thinking about it, I'm concerned about this team.
deserved forget guys people ready upset win
We've got to forget about it and get ready for the NIT. The way I feel, we've got to go out and play and win it to show people we deserved to be in the (NCAA) tournament. The guys are upset now, but come Friday, we'll be ready.
