bit offensive shot
Making the first shot ... that would be a bit easier. But when you have 21 offensive rebounds, you can't really complain.
definitely full hard minutes point practice seconds shot since syracuse talking
Since the Syracuse game, every practice we're talking about going hard for 40 minutes and the full 35 seconds on the shot clock. That's definitely been a point of emphasis.
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.
ball bunch final game hope last matter ready realize soon throw waiting
It was just a matter of being ready to play. It's a matter of being ready as soon as they throw the ball up, not waiting 10 minutes. ... I hope we look at this and realize we can't ever do this again. Because if so, that's going to be the last game for a bunch of us. This is that final wake-up call.
call sleep
Once again, we've had another wake-up call and we know we can't sleep through a game.
fun looser start
Nothing to lose. It makes you feel looser and play a little more freely. When you do that, you start to have a little more fun and things start to go your way more often than not.
next worried
I have no idea what I'm doing next year. I'm not worried about that right now.
bottom definitely focus good line playing
It's definitely going to be fun. I haven't been able to get back in a long time, but the bottom line is we're playing basketball. It's going to be good to see people, but at the same time, we need to focus on what we need to do.
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.
came east giving intensity matching matter mentality team toughest
They came in with the mentality that they (Villanova) are the toughest team in the Big East and we came in with the same one. It was just a matter of us matching that same intensity and giving it right back to them.
found game match ourselves physical tough
They were so tough and physical we found ourselves having to match them. That was the roughest game I've been in.
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.
bottom came close couple despite expected fully game games happened however last line points until whether win winning
We all fully expected to be in Indianapolis despite what happened the last couple games with the close calls. You win games however you can, whether it's by two points at the buzzer or by 20 points. The bottom line is we were winning games up until (Sunday). We came up one game short.
