assistant hard harris head kids knew last league playing terms win year
Last year was our first year in the league and my first year in the league as a head coach. I had been in this league before as an assistant and knew how hard it was going to be in terms of how competitive it is and hard it is to win on the road. I think our kids are better at it after going through it one time. We're more experienced and now that we have Anthony Harris back, I think we're playing better basketball.
ball came gave hard kids last lose tight tough worked
It's been something our kids have really worked hard at. When you lose tight ball games, tough ball games. ... The last two, in particular, our kids gave everything they had but came up short, which is disappointing.
difference free game good guys hard high team terms
They're an outstanding team and J.J. is terrific. We executed our game plan. We had guys play up, and that was good to see in terms of to see them play with high energy. The difference in the game? We make one three, they make 13 threes. We make 10 free throws, they make 29.... When you look at those two numbers, it's hard to win.
happens hard
If we play as hard as we can play we can live with what happens at the end of the game.

I knew how hard it was going to be in terms of how competitive it is and how hard it is to win on the road. Our kids have gone through it one time and are better at it. No question. We're more experienced and have (injured) Anthony Harris back and are playing better basketball.

We just gotta take baby steps. Hopefully we'll be playing in the NCAA next year.

We weren't good from deep, but we found a way to win and that's key. You're going to have nights when you don't shoot as well.

We have to do a better job marketing college basketball and with our game operations. They have to understand that having a sixth man is important.
bad ball chance cut harris points three took
We had the ball with a chance to cut it to three or two points but Harris took a bad shot. That was a big turnaround.
huge program recruiting standpoint substitute
It would be huge for this program. If we get to New York, what it does for our program from a recruiting standpoint and exposure, there's no substitute for that.
duke needed played stretch
Duke played well down the stretch when they needed to, and J.J. made all the big plays.
effort guys hope rest
Our effort was there, and that's all you can hope for is if our guys will have that kind of energy, that kind of effort the rest of the year. You give yourself a chance, and that's what you want.
basketball good
We are going to have a good basketball team. We are going to be fine.
finish game games win
We had our opportunities. It is disappointing because we want to win those games and we had opportunities to finish the game off.
