We got an outstanding performance from Lenny Jefferson, who lit it up early.
ability comeback proud team
I'm proud of the team and in our comeback ability.
leads start
It?s important (to start fast) but it?s more important not to be down 22-6. We haven?t been getting out to big leads like we had been in those games.
awhile flow good happy high honored justin lenny regular senior shots took wear
It took us awhile to get going but I thought once we got into the flow we started to wear them down. It was Senior Day and if you look at the stats, Lenny and Justin were really terrific. They made shots and they did a lot of good things and I?m really happy for them that they were honored as they were and went out on a high note, at least for the regular season.
bad good great minutes played respond road
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.
collection players stars work
We have a collection of players who just work hard. There are no stars on this team.
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.
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.
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.
five shoot starters unique
They are a good-shooting team. They have an inside-outside game. They have five starters who can shoot the three, and that's kind of unique when you think about it. They have five 3-point threats.
complete define game offensive players shooter
Some players you can define as a shooter and some you can define as a driver. ... He has a pretty complete offensive game at this point.
aware beat containing dribble job value
Defensively, he used to be awful. He?d get beat on backdoors ... he?s doing a better job on screens. Now he?s not getting beat off the dribble very much. He?s containing his man. He?s more aware of the value of defense.
bit court gave half justin kick near past shot stopped
That gave us a little bit of a kick start. In the past Justin would have stopped near half court and shot a three.
