came couple game good lack plays
It was a good game that came down to a couple of plays at the end. We came up a little short. It wasn't for a lack of intensity.
came couple knew plays roll
At the end of the game, as we knew it would, it came down to a couple plays at the end and they just didn't roll our way.
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.
couple game good knew played plays
We did a lot of things well; we battled, we played hard, rebounded well and did a lot of good things, but at the end of the game we knew it would come down to a couple of plays at the end of the game and it just didn't go our way.
deserved played plays seniors stepped throughout
They made plays at the end. Their seniors stepped up and made big plays throughout the game. They played well and deserved this win. I thought we would have played better.
backup constant expect guys happen minutes plays stepped transition year
Replacing guys has always been a constant in this program. Guys have always stepped up. Carl went from a backup to a guy who plays 30 minutes a game. That's the transition guys are going to have to make. I expect that to happen this year as well.
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.
