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.
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.
line score
They were going to put us on the line and make us score that way.
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.
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.
ball playing thrilled
We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.
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.
fortunate liked road though tough trip win
We just had a really tough road trip at Pitt, Georgetown and at Seton Hall. There's not too many times you feel fortunate to win one out of three. But I do feel that way, even though we would have liked to win them all, or two out of three.
