bad ball game hurt played shot stop
We just really couldn't stop them defensively enough to get to where we wanted to go. They shot the ball well. They played well, ... We made some uncharacteristically bad turnovers in this game that really hurt us.
consider played teams ten three top
We just played three teams I consider to be Top Ten teams and, right now, we're not a Top Ten team.
consider four games great monday nobody played row sad saturday teams three top weeks
We just played three teams I consider to be Top 10 teams and, right now, we're not a Top 10 team. It's sad we have to play great teams back-to-back ... that's not the right way. Nobody else has to do that, play back-to-back Saturday and Monday games two weeks in a row with three of four on the road. That's too much to ask.
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.
game good monday played playing ready tremendous west
We had to give it a lot tonight. We've played a lot of basketball. We're just going to have to get ready and be ready to play Monday night. West Virginia's playing as good as anybody. It's a tremendous test, a tremendous game for us.
deserved played win
We don't make excuses. They played well defensively and they deserved to win the game.
four guts josh needed played took
For Josh Wright, who hadn't played much, to do what he did was outstanding. We needed all four of those and it took a lot of guts for him to get all four.
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.
balance continue guys key played
We had better balance and that was the key to winning. The other guys just scored more and played better. If we can continue with that kind of balance we'll play well here.
biggest conference defending defense fortunate games people played playing problem stop time won year
Our biggest problem has been defending people. Offensively we played pretty well but it's pretty disappointing at this time of the year that we can't stop people on defense. We're fortunate we've won as many games in our conference as we have playing the defense we have all year.
ahead basketball compete far played pressed rochester schools time zones
He was so far ahead of his time as far as basketball was concerned, ... We pressed and played different zones and did things that weren't commonplace back then. And, as a result, we were able to compete with the big schools in the Rochester area.
half himself last needed offense played terrible time today
He couldn't play those last two games. I had to take him out. He played like himself in the first half and we needed that. Our offense has been terrible and we need him to get it going and we did today for the first time in a while.
guys played sure
If the other guys had played better all year, I'm sure (McNamara being called overrated) never would have come up.
average dame four game gerry gets played
If Gerry played at Notre Dame he'd probably average 25 a game for four years because that's what he gets when he comes here.
