depth eight gets minute seven team time tired tremendous
We have such depth that when the other team gets tired around the eight minute or seven minute mark, we make our move. We've done some tremendous things around that time this year.

I thought he was fabulous. He did all the things we needed him to do to win. We needed every rebound, every basket, and what I liked was absolutely every time we needed him to score, he got a basket.
experience played
I thought he played pretty well the whole game. We went with our experience and that's what we've been doing all season. This was nothing unusual.
bad basketball concerned game start team
We haven't become a bad basketball team because of one game. It's not anything to start panicking about or anything to be concerned about. We did some uncharacteristic things in that basketball game that we hadn't done all year. Now we have to get back to what we were doing before.
excited grand mean obviously scheme time
Obviously I'm excited about it, but at the same time I'm very realistic. For me, it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of the whole season.
basketball believe best caught couple god impressed left playing season thank truly wins
I was so impressed with St. Bonaventure tonight. It's kind of unfortunate they're playing their best basketball now. I truly believe they got a couple wins left in them. Unfortunately, the season has kind of caught up to them a little bit. We were pretty nervous. Thank God for our experience. That was the only difference.

You guys are making it very difficult to try to match expectations now.
attention caring control hall mike paying pops step team top
We're not paying attention to any of that foolishness. What we're paying attention to is that we want Pops to get double-digit rebounds. I want J.R. to take better shots. I want (senior forward) Mike Hall to take control of this team defensively. I want (senior forward) Omar (Williams) to step it up and be more aggressive. We're not caring about being in the top 20. I want to make that clear.
attention deserved felt high hurt last paid people picked prove saying unjust year
We paid a lot of attention to what people were saying and that hurt us. I felt last year was unjust for us to be picked so high when we hadn't done anything to prove we deserved that.
difference fortunate key tough win
We were very, very fortunate to win the game. We made some tough 3s down the stretch, and we were able to get one or two key turnovers, and I thought that was the only difference in the game.
