believe game heart possibly prepared sacred start talk tremendous until
Every game is a must game. That?s how we look at it. It would be tremendous (to start 3-0), but we don?t look at it as a two-game set. We won?t talk about Sacred Heart until we get back from LIU. We need to be as prepared as we possibly can be because I believe it?s more challenging on the road.
five games good keeping playing straight teams
We're playing pretty good ball, keeping teams for five straight games under 60 points.
coming dice games good home roll showing signs team time
I think we?re showing some signs of being a pretty good team at the right time of the year. We have some home games coming up and we have to roll the dice and see what that in the tournament.
couple games last people valuable
I think the last couple of games people who haven?t scored that much have been just as valuable as the people who have scored.
central game limit minutes played playing remember shoot straight
We were able to limit them to one shot. We made them a perimeter team. We made them shoot from the perimeter. I can?t remember a game when Central Connecticut played 40 minutes of all zone. I just can?t remember us doing that, playing straight 2-3.

If you told me before the season we would win 18 games this year, I?m not sure I would have believed you.

We got an outstanding performance from Lenny Jefferson, who lit it up early.

We got slapped around at Monmouth. We've played some great minutes and some bad minutes this season. I really don't know how good we are. We'll see on the road how we respond from the Monmouth experience.
gets good inside outside score shoot tremendous variety
A tremendous inside player. When he gets the ball, he can score in a variety of ways. He can take you outside and shoot a 3. He can face-up on the block. Then he's good around the hole. He's a very good player.
measure
You can measure height. But you can't measure heart.
concerns good inside league outside player threat
What concerns me is that they have a lot of weapons. They take the most 3-pointers in the league and they have a 3-point threat kind of team, but they also have a very, very good inside player in A.J. Jackson, probably as good as any inside player in the league. So they can take you outside and they can take you inside.
collection players stars work
We have a collection of players who just work hard. There are no stars on this team.
