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.
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.
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.
against came chance few game good last percent win
The whole game was summed up at the free-throw line. It came down to the last few seconds. If you're going to go 50 percent at the free-throw line, you're not going to have a chance to win against a good team.
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.
chance effort ourselves
Our effort was tremendous. It's frustrating to get an effort like that and come up short. We didn't give ourselves a chance at the end of the game.
gotten miss southern
The thing about Southern Miss is that they've gotten better and better each game.
