basketball good love playing seeing team
I love good basketball and I haven't been seeing it in my team. If I am to end it this year, I just want my team to go out playing good ball.
basically comeback cut dominated game heart minutes players superior team took vastly won
They won the game in the first 10 minutes and there was nothing that we could do to cut into that margin. They basically took our heart early, and we're not a team that has a lot of comeback potential. This is a game that we were just dominated by vastly superior players and a coach.

They were clearly the better team -- one of the best we've played -- in that second game.

We seem to have hit a little bit of a wall. We were playing better in the first half of the season.
freshmen good great kids last lost number people players playing realize recognize team
You have to recognize that they've got a lot of young kids out there. They're playing freshmen and they lost great players. People don't realize the number of great players they lost. I think probably they're a good team, but they're not the same team as they were last year.
awful dominated game group night picked players superior vastly
This is a game where we were just dominated by a vastly superior group of players and coaches. We picked an awful night to not even be able to find the basket.
bit dig half perfectly played
You're always going to have mistakes. You're not going to play perfectly down the stretch, when everything has to work. You know there are going to be some miscues. We just haven't played solidly in the first half and we've had to dig out of that. ... It's just a bit too much for us.

They made the plays they had to make and we didn't.

He totally lost his composure. He totally played into their hands. He had been playing so well.
compare depth gore great happen numbers plays seeing support
We are seeing in the numbers he is ahead, but the depth of his support is not as great as it could be, so I think what is going to happen is, they're going to take a look at him and compare him to Gore and see where it all plays out.
basketball player coaching
What you specifically teach is what your players will do best.

It is a paradoxical statement, but it takes incredible personal discipline to play with great freedom.

Matt is a great fit for our staff. He is a young aggressive assistant coach who has been at two Division I universities that have turned around with his recruiting and coaching abilities. He was an integral part of the players landed at Denver and Middle Tennessee. He was a heck of a player in college who was a bulldog and he carried that into his coaching career. He has recruiting ties in the Northwest, West and Midwest.
against dominated foster good happened happens hopes hurt knew ok order oregon played reality
I think reality has set in. We knew we had to play well in order to foster those hopes. We played OK against Oregon State, and we just got dominated by Oregon. It hurt to play like that. That's what happens when you are not a good team. Our hopes were higher, but what has happened was not unexpected.
