careers eight elite final games losing region seniors tough won
Our seniors won a lot of games during their careers at Northern. Losing your final game in the region championship one game away from the Elite Eight is a tough place to go out.
basketball college
That was an unbelievable college basketball game. You won't see anything better on TV, that's for sure.
effective hard played second
We played hard the whole game, but we really played hard in the second half. We were pretty effective in that second half.
ball few miss passed played shots
We played hard, passed the ball and rebounded pretty well tonight. Of course, when you miss as many shots as we did tonight, you should be able to get a few rebounds.
allow ball easy gave harder hurt inside kick team work
We gave up some easy threes in the first half. Like everyone else, we get hurt when we allow penetration inside and the other team is able to kick the ball out. We have to work harder on controlling penetration.
conditions credit crowd game great hanging kids played
Give Moorhead a lot of credit for their effort. They played a great game under these conditions at our place with our crowd being so loud. And give our kids credit for hanging in there.
community enjoy group hard identify seeing seniors thinks watch
One of the heartwarming things about this group of seniors is that they have been around long enough and have done enough that most of the community thinks of them as their own kids. They want to come and watch them play. They identify with them and enjoy seeing them play as hard as they do.
care
The only thing is that we had 17 turnovers tonight. We have to take better care of the basketball.
downs four handled played remained seniors success ups
When you have seniors who have played a lot for all four years, you go through a lot of ups and downs. Especially when you have some success. I think these seniors have handled the ups and downs and the success pretty well. They have remained humble, and that's important.
anyone conference crowd great hit northern passes tonight
We had a great crowd tonight, and everyone paid. There were no passes for anyone tonight because it was a conference event. And if we hit 70,000 for a season, that is pretty remarkable. Everyone here at Northern really appreciates our fans. They are the best.
high level stay
We just have to play better. We have to play at a pretty high level just to stay with them. We'll have to do better than we've done.
players post
We didn't get much out of our posts today, but it wasn't all their fault. We have to be able to use our post players better.
basketball early good handling job matt played plays ton tried
We had 15 turnovers, and we just didn't do a very good job of handling the basketball at times. Early in the game, Matt tried to do too much. But to those who much have been given, much is expected. And that is the way it is for Matt. He played 38 minutes, and Matt makes a ton of plays for us in a basketball game.
