defense great savvy strong team
We weren't strong enough, and they made savvy plays. Vincent is a great player, and the defense of their whole team was great.
expected good great grind knew national ncaa people point realize success team won
People who expected a lot of things from the team don't realize that before we got here, the team only won 10 or 11 games, had NCAA sanctions. And people wanted national championship success right away. We knew it wasn't going to be like that. We knew it was going to be a long grind and a process. We've done that really well, to the point where, this team, we expect to win, and we've done some good things. It's been a great ride.
decent great high percent territory
I've always been a decent free-throw shooter, but I've never been a 90 percent free-throw shooter. So, this is new territory for me. I've always been in the high 70's to mid-70's and that's pretty decent, but I've never been a great free-throw shooter.

Every level he has played at, he has been the best around. You could tell great things were in store for him even when he was a young kid.

appealed coaches coaching dan dean despite great job program retaining stability staff success
I was not going to go just anywhere. The stability of the program appealed to me. Dan is the dean of the Big 12 coaches and has done a great job retaining his coaching staff despite all the success ISU has experienced.
chance finish great hoping horn shoot
I was hoping he'd just shoot it before the horn went off. In that situation, you've got to give it a chance to go in. It was a great way to finish off the night.

We played great the last time out. We finally got some success for what they've been trying to work on.

It'd be great to develop fan buses when we play at Stetson or go to Jacksonville. They can make a weekend out of it.

(Cermak) did a great job. I'm proud of the way he played. He was solid and consistent across the whole tournament.
accomplish against cal club competing degrees foundation goes great hand heart laid mentor opposite players program somebody special
On one hand it makes it even more special to accomplish something like this competing against your mentor and somebody who laid the foundation for such a great program at Cal State-Fullerton, ... But my heart goes out to him and his club because they are 180 degrees in the opposite of what me and my players are feeling.
ask great maybe stage
Maybe it's stage fright. I ask myself, 'How do we play like this?' We do great in practice. Then in games, we don't do anything well.
caliber direction gave great knew played team
We knew that we had played a great team and competed with them toe-to-toe. But at the same time, it gave us a direction to go in our program. We knew too that we weren't the caliber team that they were.
