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.
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.
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.
bounce guys hard job lost since three time
It's been a long time since we lost three in a row. It's hard to bounce back, but it's my job to get these guys to do that.
alley couple game great heck lost saw time took
He's a heck of a player. He saw an alley and he took it. Ramon had a great game as well. We lost him a couple of time in our zone.
certain everybody hard last learn running takes throws time
The last two possessions we did not do what we wanted to do. We were running a certain pattern, and one time we got confused. It just takes one person to get confused, and it throws everybody off. That's just the way it goes. We'll learn something from it. It's hard to do that in that atmosphere.
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.
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.
