force main run running tough
Just being tough and running. Those are the two main things. We?re going to have to be tough every play. We?re going to have to not let them force us out of our offense, and we?re going to have to run as much as we can, especially the big men.
figured four great job lock quick saw score somebody step three
I saw him score three or four quick buckets and I just said there's no way he can score anymore. If he does, they're going to try and take over the game. He was doing a great job out there and I just figured somebody had to step up and lock him down.
ball caught game guys inside last nobody slapping soon stronger sure taken tough
Just really being stronger was important for us, and being tough on the inside. A lot of times we were able to get the ball inside in the last game but they would come in, and you've got guys slapping at the ball and everything and we were getting it taken from us. This game, we made sure as soon as we caught it we were ball-tough and that nobody could take the ball from us.
again figured happen nights tonight
Just never let up. I thought we had really figured that out, but tonight was one of those nights where it happened. I don't think it will ever happen again with us.
close five four kept key needed second shots stayed stops tough within
It always is. That's how they really stayed in the game. They were just really, really tough tonight. They didn't let us get a 10-point cushion. They kept it within four or five all second half. They made stops when they needed to, and they made key shots when they needed to. So, it was close down the stretch.
brown good guys hilton nine senior tight
I think that?s having nine guys who can come in and play. That?s having guys like Denham Brown and Hilton Armstrong, senior leaders, who have been there before. In tight situations, you know they?re going to make good plays.

There are no perfect games in the NCAA Tournament. It's just survive and advance. The bottom line is we're not going home. I was sleepwalking this morning. But you know you have to get up and do it again today.
center fantastic kid loves
He loves to be in the spotlight, the center of attention. And as you can see, the kid makes some fantastic shots.
bit line road second traded
We traded baskets with them a little bit in the second half. We can't do that on the road and we can't do that down the line in the tournament.
couple depth experience games helps last pull start teams toward wear
It helps a lot but it's not just experience. It has a lot to do with conditioning and the depth of our team. The last couple of games we've really been able to just wear other teams down toward the end of the game and really start to pull away.
believe challenge deal great hard playing prepared realize require work
I realize this will require a great deal of hard work on my part, but believe that I am prepared for the challenge of playing in the NBA.
bump cuts definitely fight force front strength
That's definitely the strength of their team. They force you out of your offense, they bump you on all your cuts and front you in the post. They never give up. They fight you for everything.
force game gone honestly knowing syracuse tough watch
I honestly had to force myself to watch part of the game with Syracuse and Pittsburgh. It's tough knowing it could have gone so many different ways.
east fact force gone honestly instead kinda knowing minutes ready second title tough watch ways
I honestly had to force myself to watch part of the (Big East title game) on Saturday. It's just so tough knowing it could have gone so many different ways and it was just the fact that we didn't show up ready to play. Instead we kinda showed up to play 10 minutes into the second half.
