games good taken
It's not going to be good when you have games taken away from your progress.
biggest cannot good job kids knocked middle stand teams
The biggest thing, when you play teams like this, you've got to stand in the middle of the ring. You cannot get on your heels. I told them before the game, 'We're going to get knocked down, you've got to get back up.' And I thought the kids did a good job of that.
ability game key moved pass
The key to the game for us was our ability to pass the basketball. We moved it better than we have in a long time.

That's probably how dentistry was in the 1800s, before they had anesthetics. That's how I felt.
close shots
You have to make shots so close to the rim.
four line lost proud three
We were down three to Villanova and 5-for-17 at the line. We have lost three or four at the free-throw line so I'm really proud of our kids.

Every game is such incredible pressure. That pressure is on both coaches and players.

breaking great job
We did a great job of breaking it down into four-minute segments. I don't have a 19-point play.
point rebound spread strong
We had the opportunities to make shots. You get to a point where you have to make them. We got to rebound better. We're not strong enough to rebound consistently when we get spread out like that.
knocked
They don't get knocked out. They go the 15 rounds.
basketball create problems rest team
They're a team of basketball players. They're not a team of positions. But they create problems you're not going to see the rest of the year.
They're no fluke. They manhandled us in the lane.
