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.
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.
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.
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.
adversity character describe games gone group guys overcome seems speaks team week win
This team has overcome so much adversity. It speaks to the character of the kids. It seems like every week they've gone through something. It's an unbelievable group of guys. You don't win as many games as these guys have and not be different. That's what they are . They're just different. I don't know how to describe it.
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.
against bad forced score syracuse took transition
You get it to 44-all, I think we got a little too excited. You're not going to score in transition against Syracuse at their place. I thought we forced the issue. Even when we got it down there, we took some bad shots.
character explain games group speaks win
This speaks to the character of these guys. It's something. I can't explain it. This is just an unbelievable group of guys. You don't win as many games as they have without being different. And they are different.
best hat team tip won
At some point, you have just got to tip your hat to the other team. The best team won tonight.
close found guys road southern won
We were down 12 on the road and we found a way to win. Give our guys credit. Give Southern Mississippi credit, too. But we have some experienced guys who have won some close ballgames, and that had to help.
beat bob defense great jackson motion prevent run talking transition
When you are talking about a Bob Knight-coached team, you know they are going to run motion offense, play man-to-man defense and not beat themselves. Our transition defense will be huge. And we have to prevent Jackson and Zeno from having great games.
decided game happen memphis thursday until
Thursday night's game between UAB and Memphis could have decided some things. But it didn't. Other than that, nothing much is really decided until Saturday. There is still such a logjam in the middle. A lot can happen on Saturday.
