incredible looks played sweet
It looks to me like a Sweet 16 group. It's incredible how this has played out.
bounce guys hard job lost since three time
It's been a long time since we lost three in a row. It's hard to bounce back, but it's my job to get these guys to do that.
advantage playing second seems team year
It seems like a year ago that we played. I don't know if it's an advantage playing a team a second time.
football means neat none pressure virginia west
It used to always be West Virginia football around here, ... Now it's West Virginia basketball. It's neat to be a part of it, but I know we'll have a lot of pressure on us. None of what we did means anything.
came foul putting score
They came after us and they were putting us on the foul line, so that was the way we were going to score points.
nobody
They weren't going to give us a 3. We should have put it inside, but nobody was there.
defend impossible matter
It's impossible to defend them no matter what (defense) you're in.
front guy pack steals year
It's ironic, sometimes, that a guy steals a pack of gum, and it's going to make the front page. But student-athlete of the year doesn't make a lot of news.
above ball came chance guys needed rebound seemed threw time top unless
It seemed like any time they needed a hoop they threw it up in the air, over top of us and one of their guys came down with it. Any time the ball was above the rim, it was theirs. We had no chance of getting a rebound unless it came down under the rim.
four half hit kevin second warming
I told Kevin when we were warming up for the second half that I was going to hit four three-pointers,
contribute eight percent
There are eight of them, so 50 percent of them probably will have to contribute immediately.
defense good heard score
We heard a lot about their defense, and it is flat-out terrific, but we play pretty good defense too, and we've been able to score on a lot of good teams.
bags guys ice players step
We have ice bags taped to players all over the place, but we had guys step up and so, we keep playing.
blow final nice
When we were up 20 with 2 to go, I said to myself 'Even I can't blow this one. It was nice to not have those gut-wrenching final seconds.
