defense excellent game great open played shots
(Marshall) played a great game and they're getting better every day. I thought they just played excellent defense on us. We did all of the things we wanted to do to get open shots and they just didn't go in.
defense major normally played possible shots step took tremendous trying wins
We're all trying to get as many wins as possible and they took a major step with the win tonight. I thought they played tremendous defense on us. We couldn't make shots the way we normally do.
game good luck players shot
Tonight's game wasn't about who had better players or better coaches. That shot was all about luck. We had some good luck and they had some bad.
might shots won
Two more shots and we might have won this game.
college game great hotter shot
It's the great equalizer. The college game has never been hotter than it is right now, and the three-point shot has been a big part of that.
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.
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.
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.
best foul free shots throw tonight trademark usual
Our usual trademark is to make foul shots down the stretch, and tonight we didn't. We had two of our best free throw shooters at the line.
balls difficulty keeping playing shot
He was just playing so hard. He had difficulty with his shot but was out there keeping balls alive.
bit created four half offensive played rebounds second shots
In the first half I thought we were just a little lethargic. That created a little bit of a gap. In the second half they only got four offensive rebounds and we played our tails off. We just couldn't make shots drop.
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.
