everybody great open shooting shots throw
They're a great shooting team. A lot of those shots were contested. They're going to find the open man, and then everybody they throw it to can make the shot.
focus good half lost played players second shots
In the first half we played well defensively and that was the key. I thought, in the second half, we lost focus a little defensively. In the second half, they got some uncontested shots. They're good players and they're going to make uncontested shots if you give them to them.
ball focus lost score shoot shots tank tough
We lost our focus a little and they got some shooters loose, and they made shots to their credit. Then when we have some opportunities to score we didn't shoot the ball well. We don't have enough in the tank when Guillermo doesn't score and Anthony doesn't have some kind of night. It's going to be tough for us.
good job missed shoot shots
I think they did a good job defensively, but we just didn't shoot that well. Some of the shots were contested, but we missed a lot of wide-open shots.
behind consider guys percent shots
I consider him one of those guys where if he's open, he's going to make it. Just look at his percentages. He makes around 40 percent (42 percent actually) of his shots from behind the arc. That's hot.
gone hard harris kids knew playing terms time win
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.
everybody excited host playing
Everybody is excited that we get to keep playing and will host our first-ever NIT game.
atmosphere coming deter hopefully loss loud since
The atmosphere was as loud as it has ever been since I've been here. Hopefully the loss won't deter them from coming back.
factor league motivational nine regardless signature
They've got their signature win. If they get nine league wins, regardless of what they do in the ACC Tournament, I think they are in. That's what their motivational factor is.
circumstance kids proud
I'm really proud of how our kids competed under those circumstances. We just didn't finish.
ability finish game proud toughness
I'm very proud of our kids, especially for our ability to come in here and have some toughness to finish the game off.
felt knew totally
I never felt we were totally in the clear. I just knew Creighton was going to make a run.
happy hope next pulling
I'm happy for him. I hope he's on a (NBA) roster next year. I'm pulling for him like crazy.
bottle couple happen hit kids nose providence situations time water
I've had a couple of those situations happen before to my teams. One time at Providence one of my kids got hit by a bottle of water and got his nose broken.
