good half patience quite second shots
We didn't have quite enough patience on offense. When we got shots and really we got some good ones, and in the second half we got a lot of good ones. We just didn't make anything.
boards dominated either second time
We were not in either game. The first time we battled them on the boards remarkably. The second time they dominated us.
call game gave half looked rather second thrown tonight watched
I didn't like the non-calls. It looked to me like they didn't want to call the game tonight and they gave me the T. I've never been thrown out of a game. I wanted the technical. You can't say this is an exhibition. I watched the game in the second half and they called them. I'd rather not have been thrown out. I'm disappointed. I wanted to be out there.
available billy bottom breaking confident deal issues law line personal second sure talked
It had nothing to do with the law or breaking rules. He just had some personal issues he had to deal with. We've never talked about it, and we never will. I'm sure Billy never will either. The bottom line is, we think he's on the right track, and we're pretty confident he'll be available second semester.
ball bit care good hard high movement second trying unsure
We're not a high turnover team. We take care of the ball well in games. I think we're a little bit unsure offensively and everyone's trying too hard to make something happen. But we have to get better movement. In the second half, we got a little better movement and a little better spacing and we got some real good possessions.
boards good job second
We just didn't do a good job on the boards in the first half. We did a better job in the second half.
gets good hitting job letting open second
You can't let him get loose. He showed what he can do when it gets open by hitting those two threes in the second half. For the most part, we did a good job of not letting him get set.
best call defense game half second year
Our defense was the best it's been all year in the first half and most of the second half. At the end the game just got crazy, I don't know what you'd call 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.
