center minutes rebound seven
Seven rebounds, that's pretty special. (He played) 14 minutes and got seven rebounds. Our other center (Darryl Watkins) got one rebound in 25 minutes, so that's pretty good.
against close difference game good great late league luck minute third tough west
They could be in third place with a little luck. That's how close the league is. The difference is so minute between teams. Look at West Virginia, (they've had) one after the other of close, tough games, and as good as Connecticut is, against Pitt, it's a one-point game late at home. It makes for great games, I guess.
above center foul game maintain minutes played stay sustain trouble
Darryl probably played as well in that game as any center we've ever had in the minutes he played. He's got to be able to sustain that over 30 minutes, stay out of foul trouble and still maintain that kind of effort. Above all, he's got to be there for us defensively and rebounding.
bit couple defense game locker minutes overcome physical quick
I don't think we can go into everything that was said in the locker room. We just wanted to come back and be a little more physical on defense and get to their shooters a little bit better. When you're 15 down and you can get a couple quick baskets, it's a 10-point game and you still have 16 minutes to go. It's not so much to overcome really.
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.
