anyone days four gerry good guts heart team
This team showed more heart and guts than any team I've ever coached. And Gerry had as good a four days as anyone I've ever seen.
best days difficult few great proud ready sad six teams
We'll be alright. We need a few days off, we'll be ready to play. It's sad that you have to play such great teams back to back then you have six days off. It's not the right way to play your best basketball. I am proud of the way we've battled back though. This has been a very difficult way to start.
anytime composure days held nights shoot shots
The days we don't make shots are going to be long nights for us. Anytime you shoot 1-for-19 from the 3-point line, you're usually going to lose. We held our composure pretty well.
again best conference crazy days five game monday night noon played playing road saturday schedule teams wednesday
I've never been more disappointed to look at our schedule and see that we'd be playing a game Wednesday on the road, then Saturday on the road at 8 o'clock -- when Connecticut played that day at noon -- and then have to come back here Monday night and play. Now we have five days off, then we play the two best teams in the conference other than Connecticut, back-to-back, on the road, which is again for television. That's just crazy to have to do that.
against anybody comeback controls deficit expect gerry heck lead looks plugging team
This was a heck of a comeback from that kind of deficit against a team that controls the game. You just can't give anybody that kind of lead and expect to come back, but we just keep plugging away and as long as we get Gerry some looks he's going to make his share.
couple four lose players questioned row toughness tremendous tribute type
This was a heart-and-soul type of game. I've questioned the toughness of our players a couple times. When you lose four in a row and you do what we had to do to win, that's a tremendous tribute to the toughness of these kids.
bad corrected couple gerry mistakes
We made a couple bad mistakes at the end of the game. And fortunately Gerry corrected them.
games gerry won
Without Gerry McNamara, we wouldn't have won 10 games this year.
anybody caught gerry guts half kept leg playing
When Connecticut caught us, and they caught us a lot, we kept going. Gerry wouldn't let it get away. He was playing on half a leg today. He's got more guts than anybody I've ever coached.
hardest knew league stretch tough
We knew the first stretch in this league will be the hardest stretch in this league. We have another tough game, and we'll see how we are after that.
assistant coach guy playing thinks
We keep playing all these teams, we're going to find that assistant coach who thinks he's overrated. Or that guy is already home.
assistant coach playing
We keep playing all these teams, we're going to find that assistant coach that said he was 'overrated' pretty soon.
absolutely active capable terrible
We just weren't active enough in it. We're capable of getting out and playing. We just didn't. We were just absolutely terrible defensively.
ball good job offense rhythm
We're not really doing a good job of getting our offense going, getting rhythm and getting the ball to our shooters.
