gonna nick night
We need him to play like that (aggressively). But nobody's gonna get 33 every night. I don't want Nick to feel he's got to get 30 for us every night to be successful.
bad basketball higher mean ranked team teams
We didn't do it tonight, but it doesn't mean we are a bad basketball team because a lot of teams that were ranked higher than us couldn't get it done.
benefit good guys position resolve seniors team year younger
What you have to try to do is put yourself in as good a position as you can put yourself into. Probably, we didn't get into a real good position this year with some of the things that happened. Hopefully, the younger guys on the team benefit from that and the seniors get a little different resolve as they leave.

balls dropped game involved point
I don't think I've ever been involved in a game with 29 turnovers. It wasn't just the point guards; it was dropped balls in traffic.

caught couple five great minutes offensive played second standing
If we had played great the first five minutes (of the second half), I think it would have been a lot easier. We got caught standing around on a couple of (their) offensive rebounds.
against good team
Percentages can be misleading. We weren't good with the ball. We had 23 turnovers. You have that many against a team as good as Gonzaga and you're in trouble.
beat chance close finish jump stays team upset
I was really upset that we didn't finish early, because we had a chance to really jump them early. ... When a team stays close at halftime, they think they can beat you.

Shane is a great young man, and we wish him well in the future as a student-athlete.
beat certainly chris coach continue feels improve thinking ways worse
No one feels worse than Chris about this situation, but you beat yourself up as a coach thinking there's some way this can be avoided, because I'm not used to this. It's something we certainly will continue to look at, and see if there are ways we can improve what we do.
