I know the guys are anxious to play. I don't know how much longer we can wait. The guys want to play. I'm ready to play. It's been awhile.

I know when people looked at our inside guys on paper before the season, they wouldn't be in awe. But I always told people we were going to be all right.
exactly execution five freshmen guys perfect
It was perfect execution by two freshmen and a sophomore. Five guys did exactly what we wanted to do.
assistant coach coaches coaching good guys head jobs looking preparing
I want guys who want to be head coaches. To be a good head coach you have to be a good assistant first. I want our guys looking at head coaching jobs and preparing to be head coaches because that makes them good assistant coaches.
ages bad dame few found game glad guys hand hit oftentimes plays shots step
Their shots were deep, and oftentimes we had a hand in their face. Our guys made plays and there were very few mistakes. Some of the shots Notre Dame hit were from 35-40 feet. If you step out on those, it's bad defense. It was a game for the ages and I'm just glad we battled and found a way to win.
experience grown guys major played team together
Their experience is a major issue. They have so many experienced guys who have played together for so long. They are a team that has grown together.
foul free guys playing teams tough trouble
They were a physical, tough team. Those were two teams getting after it and playing aggressive. We didn't outbound them and they got more free throws. Obviously, our big guys having foul trouble had something to do with it.
change expect foul guys minutes surprise
We had to go and change some minutes with the foul trouble. But it's not a surprise the way we responded. I expect those guys to respond.

We knew as a team that they were going to come back strong in the second half and our guys responded well.
bigger guy
There's never been a guy with a bigger heart, I'll tell you that.
anxious guys ready understand win
You're not going to win every game. We understand that. Our guys will be fine. They're ready to go and anxious to play.
depth foul guys keeps sound strengths stress team
One of our strengths as a team is that we don't foul or over-extend ourselves. We try to play sound positional defense, which keeps us out of that kind of trouble. Even with the depth we have, we always stress to our guys that we can't give fouls away.
great guard guys hard nine playing step team tone
Carl set the tone with his nine assists. That makes us hard to guard when he's playing like that. It was a great team effort. We had a lot of guys step up.
confidence good guys obviously seem step team
Levon was obviously very good tonight. It was a team effort. I like our 11 guys and I have confidence in all of them. I think you can see that and they all seem to step up.
