amazing change decisions game good lose offense outcome percent shoot shot tough
Not often do you lose a game when you shot over 70 percent in a half. It is tough to lose a game when you shoot that. I thought our offense was good and we made good decisions and (had) good looks. Its amazing how one little thing can change the outcome of the game.
game lose percent running second shoot tough whatever
It's tough to lose a game when you shoot 74 percent in the second half. We have to be better defensively. For whatever reason, we were running into their screens.
good lose people played point
When you're undefeated, that's what people are going to point to. I'm not going to lose sleep; we've played good people.
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.
battle believed less lose minute remaining
If you would have told me we would lose the rebounding battle by 11 and only be down by one with less than a minute remaining I wouldn't have believed you.
anxious guys longer ready
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.
guys inside looked paper people
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.
believe happen immediate knew lend obviously success timing
I knew she'd have success. I knew it was going to happen, but obviously didn't know it would happen this quickly. The timing did not lend one to believe there would be immediate success in the first year.
knowing looks
I like the different looks we can give. I like our guys' minutes. They're always out there knowing what they're doing.
forward looking respond
I'm looking forward to see how we respond to this challenge.
date graduate kids losing lost past points position problems reached talking
It's more up to date but there's still problems with it. This past year, we lost kids who had already graduated. You're talking about losing points when you've reached your goal. We put our kids in a position to graduate early, and we're being penalized. That's flawed.
embrace football good playing proud talk team teams
It's something that's been said about us. I sometimes used to get away from it but now we embrace it. Teams often talk about us playing like the Steelers, or as a football team at different times. Now we look at it as a good thing and we're proud of it.
built four good proud students top
It's something we're proud of. Our fans, our students, the Oakland Zoo, they've been a big part of our success. Our students are right on top of you. It's something we did four years ago when we built the building. It's a good situation.
came decisions good great percentage shooting
It was just a big effort. Our shooting percentage was terrific. We just came out and made shots. They were good shots, but I thought we made some great decisions to get there.
