downs group ups
When you have a group of young kids, the ups and downs are dramatic.
earn hold later
When you have a young team, you have to hold the lead. We started off well, but we didn't earn our baskets later on. We didn't get to the free-throw line.
close shots
You have to make shots so close to the rim.
both coaches game incredible pressure
Every game is such incredible pressure. That pressure is on both coaches and players.
conference game league looking rent seems sets tough tournament winning
Every league game seems like a conference tournament game to me. You're looking at two sets of standings: who's winning and who's at the bottom. It's a tough, tough thing on coaches. That's why I rent (a house) and I didn't buy.
beaten good lost start today
We've been beaten this year, but I didn't think we lost any of those games, but we lost today. It was important for us to get off to a good start today but we didn't do it.
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.

breaking great job
We did a great job of breaking it down into four-minute segments. I don't have a 19-point play.
both country east easy home league pressure teams trying twelve win
Both of these teams are trying to be one of the 12 that go to the Big East Tournament. That is a different kind of pressure than most teams in any league in this country face. ... Twelve teams are going. There is nothing easy on our schedule, and you have to win home games.
I don't know what else you can say; you need to make them.
happy opportunity
I am happy for their seniors. They were able to get through the grind, and now they have the opportunity to play on.
bit chest difference good saw somebody stepped teams
Somebody else stepped up for them and good teams do that. I thought I saw his chest swell a little bit after the first one. He was the difference in the game.
directly led shooting steals terrific
Shooting percentages can be misleading. Their steals led directly to baskets. I think they've done that all year. They're terrific open-court players.
