benefit call chance free game great handled overlook win
There's no chance we'll overlook Drake. They handled us soundly in Des Moines, and had a great chance to win the game here. We got the benefit of a call at the end of the game and made a free throw. Otherwise, that was going to overtime.
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.
ben blake work
Ben made Blake work for every shot. Ben and Blake know each other inside-out.
basket crack sure
We have to make sure we get a crack at the basket every possession.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
game point shows starting step
For him to step up and have the game he had shows what he's made of, and why he's our starting point guard.
It should be an entertaining weekend. Hopefully, we're around for the end of it.
crazy heck lost watch wonder
A lot of crazy things happened. When we watch tape, (Lowery) will wonder how the heck they lost the game. And I'm going to wonder how the heck we won.
deal great respect
At least from our end, there is a great deal of respect for who they are and how they do things.
