chance conference game gone good hope improved kids number saw since team worthy
I think we're a very worthy team. If that's (Ohio State) the number one team in our conference ... You saw a pretty good game out there. We're a team that's improved since the year's gone on. I hope our kids get the chance to play in the NIT.
goals good job
We really wanted to get to the free-throw line, that was one of our goals. We thought we could take them off the dribble, especially Geary, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.
finding good job league player players
We didn't do a good job of finding him. He's a good player and there are good players in this league and sometimes they get going.
came game good minutes ready
We came out ready to play and we got a pretty good start. The first 10 minutes of the game I thought we did a pretty good job.
basketball good model socially
Travis has been good for us academically, socially and basketball-wise. He's been a model student-athlete here.
foul given good kept kids level limited stuff trouble
It's been good for us, kept us out of foul trouble, limited some other people's stuff with what they've been able to do in the post. It's given our kids a level of confidence.
closer good needed player shots
We just needed to get closer to him. He had uncontested shots in the first half, and he's too good a player to do that.
experience good guys rhythm shape shot stepped three
We were in pretty good shape at that point. But they got in a rhythm and have the experience over us. Three of those guys are fifth-year seniors. We are not that. They've got some experienced guys who stepped up and made some big plays. They just shot over us and made some big baskets.
good guards
Those two guards are very, very good for them. They make a lot of plays.
brown chance credit good lead needed second shot shots zone
We had the lead back-and-forth in the second half, and I thought we had a chance to win. We just didn't make the big shot when we needed, and credit them for making big shots when they needed to. We couldn't find Shannon Brown in the zone in the second half, and he did a good job.
challenged couple good guard hit job jump
We challenged their shooters well, (freshman guard Bobby) Riddell hit a couple at the end, but I think we did a good job of challenging their jump shooters.
critical good happen needed run shots
For 35 minutes, we were in good shape. We made a very good run at this thing, but it just didn't happen for us. ... We had our opportunities but didn't make some critical shots when we needed to.
feeling good
It was important for us to kind of get the good feeling back.
good zone
The zone has been pretty good for us. We'll try to see what we can do with it (tonight).
