poor shooting toss
We'll just toss it out as a poor shooting night.
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.
shooting
I told him, 'We're going to go down with you shooting the ball. That's who we are.
early four mike rebound shooting stick tried
Defensively, they're so big at every position. We tried early with Mike (Nardi) to stick with our four guards, but he got two fouls so we had to come with Shane (Clark). They were just too big. We couldn't rebound and they were shooting over us.
leg percent resistance shooting strength work
His leg strength is at about 90 percent of where it was before. He's doing resistance work and is shooting every day.
ball kept shooting
In the first half, that kept us in it, because we weren't shooting the ball very well.
al doctor great looked report worse
We just got a report from the doctor at the hospital, and it is great news. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. Al is going to be released, and he has vision.
best gather handled impressed incredibly season sit wants
We will sit down when the season is over and we will gather all the information, and there is no one that wants what's best for him more than any of us. I have been incredibly impressed with the way he has handled this.

The students are all yelling, 'Final Four, Jay,' ... It's fun. We're loving it.

Is that with an asterisk? ... It's an honor because obviously the coaches have a high regard for our players. Now we have to go out and earn it.
Right now we're No. 3, so I like it.
familiar
Pretty cool. I think that all of us are pretty familiar with each other.
ball control played second spread
Offensively, in the first half, I thought we played all right. Also, we just couldn't control Quincy. Second half, I thought we spread the ball out pretty well.
billy group incredible job year
Billy (Donovan) has done an incredible job getting this group together. I think what we all see in them this year is an outstanding team. They just really play off each other.
