edge game missed shots
They (UAB) didn't go away, and they had shots to get right back into the game and missed some shots late. I thought the rebounding edge is what put us over the top.
based driving easier finishes games good job lane offense reads running training
It's unbelievable how he finishes games off. We're running an offense that's all based on reads, and I've got to do a better job of training him so those reads are easier for him. The offense is a driving offense - we're going to get in the lane at some point. And it's been really good for us.
physical surprised
It surprised me because I thought we'd be more physical than them and we weren't. They were more physical than us.
gets miss
Darius was ridiculous. He didn't miss a shot, folks. He gets 21, and you wouldn't even know it. Was that the softest 21 you've ever seen? Unbelievable. He's legitimate.
fresh legs minds strive trying
They have fresh legs and fresh minds and that's what we're always trying to strive for in March.
came easily final game hat leaving lucky night noise played plays ricky teams trouble won
They (East Carolina) came out and played like it was the Final Four. They could have easily won this game and we are lucky to be leaving here with a win. If ECU plays like that every night out, they will give a lot of teams trouble and make some noise in the conference. I take my hat off to Ricky and the team. We played as well as we could play.
athletic concerns everybody forward good green knows normal saying talking team typical upset
They are a very good team and they aren't your normal 16-seed. Everybody knows tat and everybody is talking about that. They are saying that this is the upset because they are not the typical 16-seed. They have seniors, they have (junior forward Caleb) Green inside, and they are as big and athletic as we are. That concerns me.
game guys played talks three
There was no one that played well. In this kind of game, you must have two or three guys that really play well and that everyone talks about after the game. We didn't have anybody.
city great opportunity showcase university
This is another great opportunity to showcase our program, our University and our city to the nation,
builder conference five gotten last minutes momentum rebound
This could have been a momentum builder going into the conference tournament, but we couldn't rebound ... If we could have gotten one more rebound in the last five minutes of the game, we could have won.
coaching fun people
People thought I was crazy. I've had more fun coaching this style.
absolute defense joey
Our defense was phenomenal. Joey Dorsey was an absolute monster, and we need him to be a monster.
easy good passing turn
Offensively, we were back to passing it to each other. We were back to making easy plays. We didn't turn it over as much. We did some good stuff.
graduates record second women
I second the motion. His record is spotless. He graduates every kid. He doesn't look at other women. He doesn't smoke.
