expect performance type
I did not expect that type of performance from us.
canal knew root second
We knew going in that it was going to be a root canal in the second half. They just went after us with everything they had, but in the end, we were still standing.
good looking playing southern team
When you play a team like Southern Illinois, you're looking in the mirror. They are a very good team that has had a very good season, or else we wouldn't be playing them.
ambitious endeavor glad turns
This was an ambitious endeavor by us to come all the way out here, but as it turns out now, I'm glad we did.
game good luck players shot
Tonight's game wasn't about who had better players or better coaches. That shot was all about luck. We had some good luck and they had some bad.

We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.

With 5 seconds it's just very hard to match their quickness.
deeper five jamie returning sort year
We have five returning players, and Jamie is six. So, we'll probably go a little deeper into the year before we sort things out.

We learned at Syracuse that we had to attack inside and outside for scoring success. It's rare that you see a game where we shoot twenty-some percent (from 3-point range) and win.
might shots won
Two more shots and we might have won this game.
playing rhythm teams tough zone
It's tough to get in a rhythm in this league. You can go to playing teams who play all zone one day, to teams who play all (man-to-man defense) the next.
half less second tough
It's tough to explain. I think we had less turnovers in the second half than we had in the first.
college game great hotter shot
It's the great equalizer. The college game has never been hotter than it is right now, and the three-point shot has been a big part of that.
dying everybody good knows living news next
It's really good news that we're not living or dying by the three. And now we can look at the next game. Everybody knows who we play.
