business moving
Now it's our business to keep on moving forward.
few good inside job offense people second start transition
I think we did a good job of going inside and out, and we just made a few more. Once you start making them, it's contagious. When more people are making them, people get in better rhythms. We got transition offense in the second half, which we didn't get in the first half, and I think that got us going for the 3.
awful basketball beat good hall order reason rebound stunk three transition win
I think the reason why Seton Hall was so good was we made them so good. We beat ourselves. We didn't do anything good. We didn't play good defense. We didn't play good offense. We didn't rebound the ball. We didn't get any transition offense. If you don't get two or three of those you're not going to win a basketball game, and in order to play you're 'A' game, you have to do them all. But, you know, we stunk tonight. We were awful tonight.
charge confidence happens sidelines tough
I think it's more nerve-wracking being on the sidelines than it is being on the court. When you're on the court, you have the confidence that you can win. You know you're in charge of your destiny, you're in charge of what happens out there. When you're on the sidelines, you don't have any control. So it was tough watching.
difference great year
I think that will make a big difference for us. We can have a great year if we do that.
experience finished game maturity supposed
Our maturity and experience showed. We finished this game like you're supposed to.... We made plays.
couple days edge five guys intensity last nine practice
Guys had a little edge to them in the last couple of days in practice. The intensity of practice went from a five to a nine the last couple of days.
against arena deny duke fans key loud poise possibly pressure stay together top tries trying
I just tell them to keep their poise and composure. That's the key for us winning. Duke tries to get you out of your game, they like to pressure you, they like to deny you. On top of that they've got the fans that are trying to be as loud as they possibly can in that little arena they have. When all that's going against you, you've got to stay together and stay poised.
cameron defensive great job justin posting terrific tremendous
Cameron had a terrific game; he did a great job on Justin Gray. He is a tremendous defensive player, and he did a great job on offense, posting up inside.
everybody hit knows tony
In this league, everybody knows Tony Bethel is going to hit 3s.
earlier improved played season whipped
They just whipped our tails. They're a lot better than they were earlier in the season when we played them, and unfortunately for us, we haven't improved as much.
double games instead points three winning
Instead of winning games by two or three points in double overtime, we can win those games by 10 or 15 points, you know?
behind happy julius losses mentality point relief stay succeed win
I don't know if it's a relief or not, because it's one and done at this point and you've got to put this win behind just like the losses you put behind. If you want to succeed on Sunday, you can't get too happy and you can't be satisfied. You've got to stay hungry. Like Julius (Hodge) said, 'When you're hungry, you eat.' And that's the mentality we've got to have right now.
days fine sleep three
I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight, but it's nothing but a bruise. We got the win, so it doesn't matter. I'll be fine two or three days from now.
