I don't know yet what we will do. Tune in Wednesday night and see.
diving entire floor guys half loose second three
One play in the second half summed up this entire season. We were up by 20 and we had three guys diving on the floor for a loose ball.
basketball concerns four good last rice scare scoring strength
Rice is a good basketball team. Offensively they scare you because Almond had scored (30-plus points) in their last four games. That especially concerns you when our strength is not scoring points.
defense good offensive player rice start transition
Rice has as good an offensive player as their is in the league. They start with him and that's important. Transition defense will be very important. They are a very good transition team. And defensively, they are doing a lot of different things.
tried
We tried some things. A triangle-and-two, some zone. And they made some shots.
caught finally
It finally caught up with us. We didn't have any emotion. We could never get going.
caught central finally florida game home last match played playing ready shots team unless
It finally caught up to us. We didn't have any emotion. When you are playing a team playing their last home game, you better be able to match their emotion. This game can't be played unless you are emotionally ready to play. You have to give Central Florida credit. They were ready to play. They did that. They made some shots ... and when you are emotionally ready to play, you make some shots.
four glad played teams top
I think SMU is one of the top four teams in this league, especially talent-wise. They're getting better every game. I'm glad we've played them twice.
college everybody excited great home longest playing positive program running satisfied tournament
I think everybody was disappointed Friday. I don't ever want this program to be satisfied playing in the NIT. That is not our goal. But the NIT is a great tournament, the longest running tournament in college basketball. We're excited to be playing in it. There is always a positive in everything and the positive in this is that we get to play at home again.
close extremely playing plays win
It doesn't get any easier. We're playing extremely hard, we're just not making the plays we need to make to win close games. We need to keep working hard. It's going to come.
against break chance depth effort hard minutes playing time
I think we're still playing OK. We just don't have the depth at this point. But our effort has been tremendous. We competed very hard against Georgetown for 40 minutes when we had a chance to break a time or two.
bottom concerned force game line time win worry year
I think what this does is force us to win the (conference) tournament. That's the bottom line right now. But we can't be concerned with the big picture. We haven't been all year and we can't be now. We've just got to play one game at a time and not worry about anything else.
anyone basketball forward happened knows move ready team
It happened so fast, I don't think anyone knows what happened. When I feel like this basketball team is ready to move forward with Jason, then that's what we'll do.
jason
Jason is not making any excuses. He just said, 'Coach, I don't know what happened...it just happened.
