basketball classy conference dominated kids program truly walk
They've had classy kids and when you walk in their facility, you know basketball is important at that school. They've dominated us. They are the only program in this conference that has truly dominated us.
mentally prepared sure
I'm not so sure mentally we were prepared at the beginning. And that will be addressed.
came game hope hurry passes shots somebody taking three took
I hope we can hurry up and end this game, so we can hurry up and get home. Then I thought about the game and we were doing a lot of things that were uncharacteristic for us. I think the first three shots we took came after two passes and somebody taking a shot. That is not how we set a tone.
finishing whatever
I have some concerns, but that is about finishing plays. We had opportunities to finish plays. We just didn't -- for whatever reason.
felt missing normally plays shooting
I never felt like we were in control. We were missing plays that we normally make, and we weren't shooting it particularly well from the perimeter.

They were a better team than us. It was clear to me and I was right there watching it. I thought they had better basketball players. Their experience really showed itself.

Doesn't the record state it? Look at the results. To be quite honest, guys just didn't know Saint Louis. They're a very good basketball team.

It's amazing that we were able to will ourselves to this game. I thought we played our hearts out, we never gave up, and played hard on every possession.
amazing ourselves
It's amazing we were able to find a way to will ourselves to this game.
difficult guys match
You guys are making it very difficult to try to match expectations now.
allow great kept major percentage played pressure role shot situations sort sure
We just wanted to make sure that we kept great pressure on them. We made sure we put them in situations that they had to make plays. We did not allow them to get into any sort of rhythm. It played a major role in why they shot the percentage they shot.
ball moved shots
We moved the ball and got the shots we wanted. In the first half, we didn't move the ball as well and that was the difference.
either
Either let them do it or don't. Don't tell them 'hey you can go do this' but not let them take any money.
focal starts steps time
Every time he steps on the court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him.
