feeling force hoping players rated
I think our players will do that naturally. I don't think it's something I have to force on them. They don't want to be rated No. 14. I'm hoping they have this chip, but I have a feeling they're going to be overlooked.
ability both defend help needed rebound
I think he has the ability to defend in there and rebound the basketball. Both will be needed to help this team.
days games keeps reason three
It hasn't progressed and the reason why is he keeps getting it hit. And when you get it hit, you need at least two to three days rest. The most we can give him is one because we play so many games back-to-back.
goes good great job team
I thought Marquis Webb did a great job on Clayton. As Clayton goes the team goes, and I think we did a good job on him.
game last lost playing road stopped three
Remember, we lost two of our last three games, and that stopped us from getting to the NCAA. We're actually playing better, but (playing) on the road is a different case. Now we're playing game by game.
playing princeton pulling
Playing Princeton is like pulling teeth. It's been that way for a long time.
deserved ending feels grew win
I thought we grew up and we deserved to win a game. But (Syracuse) feels the same way. That kind of ending had nothing to do with us. That was just fate.
defending hit
I think we hit a wall. I thought we were defending pretty well in the first half, and I just think there was nothing left.
answers beat kids played today
I thought our kids played hard. Today we just got beat by a better team. They had all the answers today.
ball dedicated extremely followed game great guys kids performance plan team toward worked
I thought our kids followed the game plan extremely well. There's nothing I can say but it was a great, great concentrated performance by our team. Our guys worked extremely hard. I thought we rebounded the ball well. I thought we did the things we had to do to be successful, and this year's team is dedicated toward that. They followed what we told them to do. They did everything to a tee.
focused kids leave
I thought our kids focused in on what we wanted to accomplish. They didn't leave anything unturned.
few gave kept nights overtime
It gave us some issues, but we went into overtime and kept our composure. We said in the huddle, 'We gave one away a few nights ago, and we're not going to let this one get away.
chance felt game last team
That was paramount. We had talked, going into the first half, that this team was on (its) last legs. They felt there was one game that they (had a chance to win) and it was our game. I told our team to go out and take them (Bulls' legs) away. Once you do that, they'll feel like there's nothing else left. I think that's what happened.
backward road step supposed took
That was one we let get away, definitely. We took a step backward because this is one we were supposed to have so now we're going to have to go on the road and take one away.
