good help player tried
He's too good a player to do the same thing. We just tried to help in different ways.
beat good played sure tonight
We weren't very good tonight. That's a fact. But I'm not sure that even if we were good tonight it would have been good enough to beat Bradley the way they played tonight.
ben blake work
Ben made Blake work for every shot. Ben and Blake know each other inside-out.
ball best both huge job teams
Both teams will try to get the ball inside. The team that does the best job of that is going to have a huge advantage.
against easier games good key success
(Miller's) had some very good games against us in the past. The key to our success against them is when he doesn't have a good game. But that's easier said than done.
control obviously position
Obviously you'd like to be in a position where you control your own destiny, but you can't.
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.
coleman establish game half inside
We were able to establish the inside game early, which I thought was so important. To have Coleman come out and do what he did in the first half just set the tone.
lost
We had lost that edge. But we got it back in practice, and it was there (Friday).
basket crack sure
We have to make sure we get a crack at the basket every possession.
ball bounce country goes happened point shots team virtually
Virtually every team in the country goes through it. At some point during the season, the ball doesn't bounce your way and the shots don't fall. We just happened to go through it at the end of the season.
decided games
Our two games with them were decided by really nothing.
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.
validated ways
In a lot of ways it validated our program.
