best bothered country defense defensive game good great lead likes national scoring team wins
The team that wins the national championship doesn't usually lead the country in defensive scoring average. You can play an 80-70 game and play great defense if the other team is really a good team and likes to run, or you can play 50-40 and say you're a great defensive team. That never bothered me. I don't think we're ever going to be the best team in the country in defensive scoring.
best games hurts losing lost
I've lost games before, and I don't like losing when we don't put our best show out there in the way we can play. That hurts a little bit.
bottom built feeding four games leagues season six wins
There's no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody's really strong. You don't have that four or six wins built in like some leagues do. Hopefully, everyone will look into how we did in pre-conference season and the competitiveness of the games now.
game goes hang lead lull momentum win
We (had) a little lull there and they got some momentum. When you have momentum at home, that lead goes quick, and it really went quick. For us to hang on like that and win the game - that was big.
expect game good guys job ready second start time
You don't expect a game like that going into it, and our guys did a good job of being ready to play but also being ready to play at the start of the second half. It was good to see, especially at this time of year.
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.
game hang knew second tough
We knew it was going to be a tough game, even when we got up 18 in the second half. For us to hang on like that and win, that was big.
felt game nobody players says time winning
Winning is what you have to do this time of year. Nobody says how you have to do it or how it looks, so that's what I was about today. I was going to try to win that game somehow, and the players felt the same way.
believes four games situation sure team win
It's tough. Physically, it's got to be tough. But if you do get in that situation where you have to play (Thursday), I'm sure every team believes they can play four games and win the thing.
game next win
You think about (the tournament). But it doesn't matter, you have to win the next game.
both game ncaa reason tournament
It was a big game for both teams, (FSU) got the win, and there's no reason why they shouldn't be an NCAA Tournament team. I think they can get in (the NCAA Tournament) and do some damage.
adjust both contact ends free game held helped throws
The big thing was they were averaging 26 free throws a game and we held them to 15. That helped us a lot. I thought the contact was there at both ends of the court. You try to adjust to how the game is being called.
believing coached game games won
It's frustrating that you don't get that win. I think any game I've ever coached I thought we could win. We've won games believing like that.
couple games great last tests time win year
It's a great time of the year for all of the teams. To see how we finish, how many games we can win in the last couple of weeks, it really tests your team.
