defended half offense played
In the first half we played very well, we defended very well, which got our offense going.
ball good job keeping talk
He's just doing such a good job of keeping the ball up high. You talk about it a lot, but to consistently do it is something else.
good looks means papers respect talk
I don't know if it means too much more to us. I know it looks good in the papers and to talk about, but it's two good teams. We have a lot of respect for their program.
defense early good played second
I didn't think our defense was good early on, but they had something to do with that. We played well in the second half.
I didn't say anything bad, I know that. Sometimes that happens.
patience played recognize team
I didn't recognize our team on how we played early. Our patience wasn't there. Clearly, it wasn't our day.
free recognized shots tone waited
He really set the tone early. He recognized what we wanted to do early. He waited for his shots and he made his free throws.
couple eight four good great loss minutes played
He played so good the other day (during Friday's 65-61 loss to Seton Hall). He had 11 assists. He started out great with the passing. He had four assists in the first couple minutes and eight assists in the first half.
points
If he does that stuff, the points are going to come.
best
I don't think he's going to be able to play. We'll see, but he couldn't even get out of the bed. He's a big part of us. We need him, he's our best defender.
assume gained good respect since
I assume they respect us and I know we respect them. Ever since I've been here it's been a good program. We haven't gained any more respect for them because of rankings. We have a lot of respect for their program.
beat defense forcing guys trying understood
He's not forcing shots, he's recognizing what's out there. His defense was really good. They were trying to make the other guys beat them, and he understood that.
build good improvement ourselves proud week
I'm especially proud of the way we battled back and put ourselves in good position. This was a good week for us. We got better and we'll build on this.
ask battle boards five game gotten last left lose minute people rivalry teams time together
If you told me we were going to lose the battle of the boards by 11 and have it still be a one-point game with a minute left I would have been surprised. It's amazing. Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been like this down to the end. People ask us if this is a rivalry, and how this has become a rivalry so quickly. Every game has been a battle.
