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.
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.
came certainly character defense good guards kevin patient pitt points question realize result scores shots took tried
No question Kevin came in here certainly on a mission, not that he wasn't when we went to Pitt, but I thought we were a little out of character that game. We tried probably to do too much and we didn't realize how good their defense is and we took shots that we thought were good shots, but in retrospect, they weren't because Pitt guards you. This time, Kevin was a little more patient and the result -- he scores 26 more points than he did the first time.
bit came character defense good guards kevin pitt realize shots took tried
Kevin came in here on a mission. I thought we were a little bit out of character at Pitt. We probably tried to do a little bit too much and probably didn't realize what good defense Pitt plays. We took shots we thought were good and they weren't because Pitt guards you.
bags came canal cramps ice knew players playing root second
You knew it was going to be like a root canal in the second half. They just came after us with everything they had, but in the end we are still standing. You look at our players right now and we got ice bags all over the place, cramps all over the place, but we did not quit. So we keep on playing for at least one more game.
good stress trying win
I'm trying to stress with (my team) how good this win is.
couple four games gave great learn mentally minute team three tough
In games like this there are little three or four minute spans when you've got to be mentally tough enough when that other team is really challenging you. They're distracting your game and you can't give in and I thought we gave in a couple of times and it will be a great thing for us to learn from.
far momentum
I know they have a lot to gain. But we're going in with a lot to gain, too, as far as momentum for the tournament.
conference couple missouri next southern strong teams tournament valley
I know very little about Southern Illinois, but I'll know a lot in the next couple days. The Missouri Valley Conference has strong teams in the tournament every year.
east gain momentum terms walking west win
I know we'll be walking into a hotbed. They have a lot to gain by a win over West Virginia. But we're going in there with a lot to gain as well, in terms of momentum going into the Big East Tournament.
far surprise talent
Nothing will be a surprise to us as far as the talent level.
against basically challenge extra played playing relaxing time volleyball
It's not a very relaxing time to have an extra day or two off for the coaches. It's always a challenge playing them because they've basically played volleyball against us on the backboards.
beating coming confident
It's not about beating the No. 1 team, it's about getting better every day. However, we should be confident coming out of this game.
corners glad guys kick
I'm glad he made it. They had their guys in the corners to try to kick it out for the tie.
