We're going to have a short turnaround and less time to prepare. We have to turn that into a positive. Hopefully, it will be good preparation for March when we are in the tournament.

brilliant connect dots hard help invaluable julius last meant overcome practice seen talking team terms wonder year
When you think of Tony, you think back to all that he's had to overcome in terms of injuries. What he's meant our team this year has really hard to calculate; he's been invaluable to us. Only now that we've seen how brilliant he has been you can't help but wonder what he could have meant to our team last year. In retrospect, we can now connect the dots and see what Julius was talking about when he could only practice with us that year.
extra fact fans friday game george moved saturday shows washington
The fact that we moved the game from Friday to Saturday shows how important we think out fans are. From a preparation standpoint, it would have been a lot better for us to have an extra day, especially considering George Washington comes into our game without a game this week.
difficult fact point remarkable
The fact that they're 14-0 right now is a remarkable accomplishment. It's so difficult to get to the point that they're at.

I thought we were quick to settle for the 3. At the same time, we did miss some open shots.

It is a long season, and you must have the capacity to get back up off the mat and fight another day. We certainly did not play very well, and that is obvious.

We were just too far down down to get off the mat. Our guys battled in the second half, and we just came up short in every way tonight.

We do expect him to play this year. He just needs some additional time.
ball basket cutting instead kept performing toward
We didn't have crisp ball movement, weren't penetrating well, and we were cutting away from the basket instead of toward the basket. Those kind of things really kept us from performing well.
grit resolve team
Our team had a lot of resolve today. We showed a lot of grit and determination.
against assignment bit challenge defensive faced five good guys job last motion offense perhaps run second type week
They run a motion offense with five 3-point shooters on the floor, and they do a good job of spacing and screening. It will really challenge our guys to get down and guard, and perhaps have to do so for 35 second possessions. A really different type of defensive assignment than what we faced last week against Alabama, which was inside-oriented and spaced a little bit tighter.
