against basketball chance defense great half offense ourselves redeem second shooting team took west
A chance to redeem ourselves. We just weren't ourselves in the Villanova game. They took us out of our offense and defense and in the second half we didn't get out on shooters as much as we could. If we do the same thing against West Virginia, it's going to be the same thing because they're a great three-point shooting team as well.
bit defense game hard offensive run successful tried work
This game we really tried to work hard on our defense and work hard on getting to the offensive glass. We started to run a little bit more and it's one of the things we're going to have to do to be successful this year.
defense happen honestly opposed order practice realize running shut stopping strength stuff team teams win
Honestly I don't think that will happen just because of the way our team is. We realize that our strength is on defense and in order for us to win games, we have to shut teams down. In practice (Monday) we really concentrated on stopping their stuff as opposed to running ours.
george mason minutes sure wants
We just want it so bad. I'm sure George Mason wants it just as bad. It's 40 minutes to Indianapolis.
chance lucky steal
We got lucky on that one. They didn't get a chance to steal that momentum.
couple keeps last team winning worry
Things just haven't been going my way the last couple of games, but, you know, as long as the team keeps winning that's all that really matters. We're doing well. We're 14-1 so I can't really worry about myself too much.
bouncing grit loss poise tough
The Villanova loss was tough but we showed a lot of grit and poise bouncing back from that game.
excuse good
There's really no excuse for it. We're too good a team.
excuse few foot heart last minutes
There's really no excuse for it. But also I think we showed a lot of heart in the last few minutes and put the foot back on the pedal.
definitely game gave needed people spark step
Rashad gave us a spark in the beginning. We had a lot of people step up tonight. This was definitely the kind of game where we needed everyone.
game physical proven running team throughout type year
There's going to be a whole lot of pushing, a whole lot of shoving, but that's the type of game that they like. We do play well in those type of games. We're a running team, but I think we've proven throughout this year that we can be a physical team as well. We're just going to have to prove it even more so.
wish
I wish I knew. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened.
felt good time
It felt good to make a play like that at a time like that.
block exactly focus great job motivating realized situation stuff time worry
I think he realized the situation and that this probably wasn't the time for screaming. He did a great job of motivating us and getting us to focus on exactly what we need to do and block out all the other stuff and don't worry about the score.
