balance lost momentum swung
I thought it was about to be a lay-up. I don't know if he lost his balance or what. When that play happened, the momentum kind of swung the other way.
early final graduate hit improved league leave ourselves people players proven talent teams took year
Our league took a hit from people early because we had so many players graduate and so many players leave early (for the NBA), but this was a league with a lot of young talent and with some outstanding coaches. Our league improved as the year went along, and with two teams in the Final Four, I think we've proven ourselves to be a lot better league than people thought we'd be.
clear defense fog held needs
Our defense was fine, we held them to one shot. It's just that the fog needs to clear on offense.
careless couple game played smart won
I thought we had the game won on a couple of occasions. I don't think we played real smart down the stretch. We had some really careless turnovers uncharacteristic of how we've been playing.
defended eight last ok seven until
I thought we had Steele defended OK until the last seven or eight minutes.
I thought that was well as we could play, without Tyrus Thomas.
finish game kindness playing quit win
I think we kind of quit playing to win and (started) playing not to lose. We had it going. We just didn't finish it off. It's a game we let go.
I think we have something that is unique.
letting loving players serious team wrong
I thought our team was being who it is, outgoing, fun, but loving and serious when they need to be. From some of the backgrounds that our players are from, there's nothing wrong with letting out the emotion.
casual game looking maybe ohio start state team
I thought our team was a little casual to start the game and didn't play with a lot of enthusiasm. Maybe they were looking back on the Ohio State game and anticipating what we're doing on Saturday.
couple days good time work
I think we were able to work through Tyrus Thomas' injury, but it's time now for us to get back whole and get a couple of good days of practice.
deeper fans high school seen
I think it translates into your fans having a deeper connection, maybe, having seen (the Tigers) play in high school and now at LSU.
ability free plays quite shows step throws youth
The ability to step up and make free throws shows you a lot about our team. We're a little young ourselves, but we're making plays with the youth that we have, which is quite encouraging.
best defensive effort team
That was the best defensive effort I've had a team play.
