against athletic battle found good gut lights shoot win
That was a very good win against a very good team, well-coached and a tough, athletic group. We found a way to gut it out. We didn't shoot the lights out and it wasn't a pretty game, but we found a way to battle through.
against battle came continued east game good ncaa physical shooting team
This was a tough, physical Big East game against a team who I think will be good enough to go to the NCAA Tournament. Our shooting wasn't great, but Marquette had a lot to do with that, so we continued to battle and came away with a big win.
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.
goal hard less number shoot tough
Turnovers are a big thing to me. We're pretty good. Our goal is always less than 12. That's a tough number to shoot for, but it's a hard number to achieve.
attacking ball bit came good great hard inside job playing shoot teams tonight
We didn't shoot it great tonight and a lot of that has to do with the zone. I thought we got the ball inside when we wanted to. I thought we did a good job attacking but don't read too much into it. It was two teams playing hard and we came up a little bit short.
conference games high leading matter shoot win
They're going to take them, no matter what. They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage, but in attempts, they are. They're going to make some 3s. Sometimes, they win some games when they don't shoot a high percentage.
conference easy feed games high leading open shoot shot talk tough win
They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage. They win games when they don't shoot a high percentage. They're going to make some 3s. They'll make some tough 3s. We talk about making them all tough shots. We can't give them any easy or open ones. When you give them an easy shot it just going to feed their confidence.
good hamilton improved last numbers player shoot step type
Hamilton is a big-time player who put up big numbers last year. He's had some injuries, but he can get it going at any time. He is very good around the basket. He can also step out and shoot it. I thought he was an all-league type player last year. And he's improved this year.
ball beat close concern games lost shoot teams
They lost so many close games, that they have to be a concern for people. And also teams that can really shoot the ball and get it going, those teams are always a concern because there are always some games where they can beat anybody.
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.
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.
double finding great guys job knew open passes passing percentage shooting shows team
The great passes ... the shooting percentage shows the passing decision-making our guys made throughout. Great job passing it and finding the open guy and recognizing their double team (on Gray), which we knew they were going to do.

We weren't playing well despite the fact that we stressed the last three days about getting off to a good start.
