built finished key seven strong tonight top wins
We feel we built a strong enough resume. We finished top seven in our league, we got some key wins down the stretch. You can't let tonight take that away.
bad good win
We didn't play as well as we usually have been playing, but it's a win. We're on the road. If you can play bad and win on the road, you're a pretty good team.
best defensive expecting losing offensive win wind
You go in expecting to win the game, and you wind up losing and losing by 20. It wasn't our best defensive or offensive day. We didn't have it today.
few games given gonna last win
We can't get away from who we are, and we've always been a defensive-minded team. The last few games we've given up a lot of points. We ain't gonna win like that.
believe came expect points score stake tall team teams win
We can't let teams score 89 points on us and expect to win every game, but when it came down to it we gutted it out, we didn't give up, and this team has been like that tall year. There's too much at stake and we believe in ourselves.
balanced game however run win
They're a balanced team. They run a lot of screens, a lot of motion. We could win the game 2-0, it doesn't matter. However we get it done.
bit close focused found game given plus prepared stay streak ways winning
Our winning streak has given us a little bit of confidence. Plus we've found ways to win. Each game we go into, we're focused and prepared to win the game. We're not prepared to just stay close with anybody.
anyone change preparing regardless win
That doesn't change our preparation. Regardless of who anyone picks, we're preparing to win the game.
carried definitely gave hold knew maybe onto picked second start state string strong teams wins
(The N.C. State win) gave us a lot of confidence. It definitely carried over, because when we were down at halftime, we got a real strong start in the second half, and we knew we could hold onto it. Maybe we'll get some recognition and start to string on some wins and be one of the teams picked to make the tournament.
bad good win
If you can play bad and win on the road, you're a pretty good team.
early forgot happened loss moved team time
We moved on from that loss a long time ago. It happened early on in the season, we're a different team now. We really forgot about it.
built strong tonight
We feel we've built a strong enough resume. You can't let tonight take that away.
anybody confidence everybody focusing opens pressure seen start takes worry
I've never seen that in college. It opens up so many things. Anybody can start their offense. It takes a lot of pressure off of you. You have the confidence that everybody is not focusing just on you because they have to worry about your teammates.
