ball playing thrilled
We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.
balls behind dive easier loose
We couldn't have done it without the crowd. It's a lot easier to dive for those loose balls when the crowd's behind you.
balls difficulty keeping playing shot
He was just playing so hard. He had difficulty with his shot but was out there keeping balls alive.
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.
ball beautiful sure throw
It sure wasn't a beautiful game. (Pitt) had 19 turnovers and we couldn't throw the ball in the ocean.
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.
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.
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.
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.
direction excited games good national possibly speaks teams television top unless year
We're very excited about our television schedule. To go from one or two national games a year to possibly double-digit games on national television is good news, but you can't get on television unless you play the top teams in the country. It speaks well about the direction of our program.
everybody hard looks open pitt played tremendous tried
Everybody just looks at the stats as the telltale sign. Pitt just played tremendous defense. We tried to get open looks. It was very hard to get them.
might shots won
Two more shots and we might have won this game.
good
We just try to get good shots. We take what's given.
