anytime both depending kids knew nick others pass people shoot spots talked
We knew both of them. It was funny, because depending on who you talked to, some people thought Nick was better and others thought Caleb was better. Anytime you can get two kids who can shoot and pass the way they do, you find spots for both of them.
advantage game guys last matter past shoot style tough
You can't look past Princeton. No matter what, they're always going to be a tough game to play because of their style and their history. They have more guys who can shoot than they had last year, and they try to take advantage of their three-point shooting.
ball basket biggest center defend lost offensive problem replaced running scoring shoot team
I think that they shoot the ball very well from outside. Their biggest problem is they lost their center and they haven't replaced him with someone scoring under the basket and running the team on the offensive end. If you don't come to play and defend them, they're able to make shots.

I like the way they play. They get up and down the floor, which is something I like. But more importantly, I feel like I can play anywhere. I consider myself a basketball player that can do a number of different things.
excellence hard level stadium sustain
It's hard to come into this stadium and win. You have to sustain a level of excellence for 40 minutes, and we didn't do it for 40. We probably did it for about 15.
definitely good lost opportunity team
That's definitely an opportunity lost for them, but they're a good team and they'll keep fighting.
executing hard hurt job offense second start stay stops
They did a better job of executing their offense to start the second half, and that really hurt us. When we aren't getting stops in the half-court, and they are getting baskets in transition, it is hard to stay in the game.
defense hurt special stop teams
We had these guys, but special teams hurt us a lot. We couldn't stop them as well sometimes on defense in situations. We've just got to make more plays.

We are united not only in our grief, but also in our resolve to build a better world. Our spirit is unbroken -- in fact, it is stronger than ever.
