brooks grabbed might people
There were 8,442 people here, and Brooks might have been the only one who wouldn't have grabbed that ball.
basketball games last ranked shots three
There were three games where we had the basketball for the last possession. We're three shots away from being 25?5 and probably ranked 15th in the country.
good home job last protecting somewhat three
It is a somewhat surprising, especially the home losses, because we've done such a good job the last three years of protecting our home court.

Our two games with them were decided by really nothing.

His body looks better; he's handling the ball better. And Ben's never lacked confidence.
league road time
Any time you go on the road in this league and win, it's huge.
ball ben capable confident hands nine shot
I'll take that shot with Ben Jacobson any time. I'm pretty confident that the other nine (Valley) coaches, in a one-point game, don't want the ball in his hands because they know what he's capable of.

bottle catch days difficult four games lightning lower reason roll six teams three win
I'd say there's six teams that could win it, and the only reason I say that is it's difficult to win four games in four days for the lower four teams. But any of the other six, they could catch lightning in a bottle for three days and roll through that tournament.
validated ways
In a lot of ways it validated our program.
ability athletic basket built dribble guys northern places shoot shooting size team
The guys that can take it to the basket on the dribble and also shoot the 3 and have size and athletic ability, they're at Georgetown, not Northern Iowa. We built this team on our ability to shoot the ball. When we're not shooting it, we don't have a lot of other places to turn.
lost
We had lost that edge. But we got it back in practice, and it was there (Friday).
