best five games guys heart job kids played playing three
We were playing three games in five days. These guys played their heart out, especially in the first half. I don't feel bad. I thought our kids did the best job they could.
credit game hard missing played point three trying
There's nothing to say. We played a game where we were down three starters. I give Quincy credit for trying to fight, but when you're missing your third- and fourth-leading scorers, it's hard to play like that. There was a point where we had three walk-ons on the court. It just makes it hard.
ballgame chance game locker lost played syracuse telling tired win
Like I told them in the locker room, I'm getting tired of telling them that. We lost our game at Syracuse where we played hard, were right there with a chance to win, and we didn't win it. We need to find a way to get over that hump. And that's the whole ballgame right there.
five games hearts played ran three
I think they ran out of gas. We've played three games in five days. I thought they played their hearts out, especially in the first half.
gone helped played
McNamara would've helped them, but I don't know how much he would've helped them. I can't say because he was gone that we were better, because they played like a team.
helped played
McNamara would have helped them, but I don't know how much. They played like a team.
deserved east gave good guys played road themselves
I told these guys now they belong. Now we're going to go on the road and get our first Big East (road) victory. We're going to be in the Big East Tournament. I gave them things to feel good about themselves because they deserved it. They played hard.
dominated played shooting team time year
That's the first time we played this year that we dominated a team without Quincy shooting well.
game hard played sixth starters three
We played a game down three starters and your sixth man. It's hard to play like that.
afford bad far four game half kids minutes percent played seven shooting tells
We played a bad game (against Providence) but do you know with four minutes to go we're down seven and they're shooting 60 percent and we're shooting in the 30s? That tells you if we shoot 60 percent we're up 20 points. That's what I had to tell our kids -- we're not that far off. But we can't afford to go and have a half like that ever.
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.
fabulous guys kept mean played ran
I think our guys played admirably. I thought Quincy was fabulous in the first half. He kept us in there. I mean without him, we're not in there and we don't have a chance. But I think we ran out of gas.
beat double gray guard leaves teams tough
We just got beat by a better team. When they go bad, they can always go in to Gray and you have to guard him. Most teams will double him, and that leaves someone else open. That makes them tough to beat.
basketball game lost relax time worry
We lost a game the other day because we couldn't focus. There was too much other (stuff) going around out there. This time they could relax and just play basketball and not worry about things.
