conserve definitely early effort far fell hard intensity last looked played playing scoreboard seven
We played hard early and, unfortunately, looked at the scoreboard and our intensity fell off. When you're only playing seven guys, sometimes you try to conserve energy, and that's my fault. I thought they definitely outplayed us as far as effort in the last 20 minutes.
depth either gone hard helped kept played playing wear
We just kept playing hard and I think our depth helped us wear them down a little in the end. But they played well and it could have gone either way.
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.
bought conference crowd defense four game glad hard held helped home kids offensive people seven sitting teams top won work
That crowd was terrific. I don't know if we could have won the game without them. And I know there were people who couldn't come, sitting home by their radios, and they helped us, too. SMU is one of the top four teams in the conference and I'm glad we've got them out of the way. Our defense was key. Our defense is something we work hard on and something the kids have bought into. We also held them (the Mustangs) to only seven offensive rebounds. Doing that to a team like that is big.
floor guys harder practice team
I just told the guys that you practice on this floor every day. No way can you let a team come in here and play harder than us.
field hard percent shoot time
If you had told me we would shoot 35 percent (actually 35.1) from the field and 52 percent (52.9) from the free-throw line, I'd have said we would have a very hard time winning.
against bad quick score team tried turns
We tried to score too quick in transition. You are not going to score quick like that against a team like Syracuse. I don't know. We just got too excited, I guess. We tried to get into transition, and that turns into turnovers and bad shots.
basketball continue happened happening recruiting terms win
We just need to continue to win basketball games. I think what's happening right now is probably going to be more important in terms of recruiting than what happened 40 years ago.
create easy felt pick
We felt we could pick 'em up at 94 feet. We were able to create 23 turnovers. And we didn't give up any easy baskets.
along care friday game ncaa teams win winner
I've said all along that we have to take care of things first. First, we've got to win Thursday. Then we get to Friday night. If they take two teams from our league, then I think the winner of that game will get to go (to the NCAA tournament).
It was turnovers, it was their shooting, it was everything.
defend double game guys key offensive shoot strength team three
The strength of their team is that they are able to shoot the basketball. They've got three guys averaging in double figures. The key to the game is that we have to defend the perimeter and keep them off the offensive glass.
definitely game winner
The winner of that game is definitely in the (NCAA) Tournament. (For) the loser, Sunday's going to be a long day.
both familiar guard miss offense report scouting southern three
Randall did the scouting report on Tulsa during the season. Ed had Southern Miss during the season. So they were both already familiar with those teams. Southern Miss is a lot like ourselves. They are not going to do a lot of different things. They will do two or three things on offense and do them very, very well. They will make you guard everything.
