defense dug hold late lead playing rebounds tight ugly
When we don't get turnovers, we can't win. We had just enough late to hold on to the lead by playing tight defense and swarming the ball. We really dug out some ugly rebounds tonight.
ball dove ended stomach
When he dove for the ball he ended up getting stomach cramps. Something cramped up in his stomach and he couldn't do much after that.
against finding five great job occasions remember six time
What I remember the first time is that they dunked about the first five or six shots. They did a great job against us, with dribble-drive penetration and finding (Eric) Hicks, finding (Jihad) Muhammad. They out-hustled us on many occasions in the first half.
good hit kevin maybe played shoot shots smart stopped team
We started to shoot too quickly, maybe we played too smart and stopped attacking. We had good shots and didn't make them and that other team was charging. Then Kevin hit that big shot we really needed, the big dagger.
clinic complete developing good kevin playing
I thought we put on a pretty good clinic for most of the game. Kevin is really playing well and developing into a complete player.

We beat a great Pitt team tonight. Our seniors were outstanding. Their effort was terrific.
against brings game gives might miners saturday trapped watching week
Those miners trapped a week ago Saturday might well have been watching our game against U.C.L.A., if they could have. At the very least, it gives you perspective. It brings you back to earth.
everyday trying win
We were just trying to win everyday at practice, so I can't say I ever thought about this. But to get to this point, it's very rewarding.
defense good handle handled learn played team tremendous
They played tremendous defense on us. They frustrate you. They're very good defenders, and we as a team have to learn how to handle it when that happens. ... I don't like the way we handled a lot of things, but we are going to learn from this game.
against awful numbers seen since
They had an awful lot of turnovers against us the first time. I haven't seen them have those turnover numbers since then.
green shooting shots
(At) Canisius and at Richmond, we had shooting centers, but we never had anything like this. He may take some shots that look crazy, but he's got a green light.
games intangible road season sort wearing
There were some games when we were on the road and I didn't think we had the right attitude. Did we have the right energy? Was the season wearing us down? I don't know. It's sort of an intangible thing.
beat pittsburgh team
Any team that can beat Pittsburgh can beat anyone.
baby basketball caught game healthy prefer seem
This is a pretty big event. It makes basketball seem like nothing. If he's caught between games, or he can not make a game because of the delivery, then we'll just play on through it, and get better as a team. That's what happens. We'd prefer a healthy baby much more than a healthy game.
