good great job matter ready
They did a great job of getting out and contesting our shooters. We've got very good shooters. I don't think it was a matter of not being ready to play or being on our game.
came half ready second team
They came at us in the second half like they were going to show us that they're the No. 1 team in the nation, and we weren't ready for that. But then we responded.
accomplish came intense needed purpose workout
They were so intense that we had to back off, but we accomplished what we needed. They had a very businesslike approach. They came to each workout with a purpose and that enabled us to accomplish what we needed to get done.
boards game hitting offensive shooting
They were shooting over us. And you could really see them hitting the offensive boards as part of their game plan.
depth great playing wore
They were playing great early. I think that our depth just kind of wore them down.
aspect beat best learn team top
They were on the top of every aspect of their game. We will learn from this. You've got to beat the best team in their own house.
bothered confidence great last nice senior strong tournament year
That is nice for him, and last year in the tournament he struggled. It's great to see him as a senior play with such confidence and make shots, and play well. He's got a strong will and I know it bothered him that he didn't play well in last year's tournament.
amazed days few prepared saw until watching
It's incredible. We all saw what happened, we were there. I was prepared up until a few days ago not to have him for this game. I'm just amazed watching him do this. It's a miracle, that's all I can say.
definitely kids love plans
It's definitely different. Our kids love the challenge. Everyone is making plans for Minneapolis. It's a completely different challenge.
concepts country explain gets great mention players rest shows smart talk tv watch
It's amazing, I watch all the TV shows and I see them talk about all the great players in the country and they never mention him. He's so smart in everything. All the little concepts we tell him about, he gets it and can explain it on a player's level. That's what he does with the rest of the guys.
looked offensive sideline sitting
It looked ridiculous. Honestly, I am sitting on the sideline saying, 'We look like idiots.' Especially when they would go up and get an offensive rebound.
looked worse
It looked a lot worse than it was. It's going to be day-to-day.
al initially looked prognosis vision worse
It looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released. He has vision and it's going to be day-by-day prognosis now. But it's much, much better than we initially anticipated.
conference feels game
It kind of feels like a conference game to me. You know each other. You know what each of you is going to do. You just have to play the game.
