We showed toughness down the stretch. We had to pick up our defense. I think that was one of the very few games where our experience really paid off for us.

Our defense allowed the game to be played at a much faster pace and I think that was the difference.

(Temple) will be a huge game and our first league game. With what we have coming, we're going to be tested. Hopefully, our experience will get us through this stretch.
establish game guy hard inside missed trying
We really missed him today, particularly just trying to establish an inside game to establish a tone. He's a hard guy to replace.
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.
agent game insurance life wants
No one wants to come down here for a nail-biter. Yeah, we'd like to make the game easier. ... My life insurance agent would like for them, too.
bad basketball focal force game guards lets nice played player rarely smith starts steps steve whenever
Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.
best game team
To me, they're the best team in this league. We got to go there we've got to play an 'A' game to win.
anybody area based country developing game good improved job physically players program recruit rely since
Our program is based on developing players. Our players have improved physically and in every area of the game since they've been here. We don't get the kind of players I could recruit at Connecticut, so we have to rely on developing them. We do as good a job as anybody in the country at developing players.
advantage coach games homes opportunity situation tough
That's what I was wondering. I told coach (Darrell) Brooks, 'Who scheduled this game?' Games are very tough for us to get. We want to try to get as many homes games as possible. This is a situation where we had an opportunity to play a game on TV. We wanted to take advantage of that opportunity.
game magnitude plus saint season televised tight top toughest
This is going to be the toughest game of the season up to date. I think because of the magnitude of the game. I think because Saint Joseph's is 10-10, under .500 in the league. This is a big, big game for them. It's a big game for us. It's a nationally televised game. Plus it's a tight, tight building. They are right on top of us.
contrast force game offense run
This game will be a contrast of styles. They want to be deliberate, run their offense and force us into a half-court game. We want to run.
believe five game guys move offense point within
Our guys believe at some point during the game, we're going to get ya. Once we were able to get the game back within five and six, then our offense started to take over. We started to execute. We started to move the ball.
effective game question
He's doing well. Now it's just a question of how effective he can be in a game situation.
