ball basket good inside large looks missed short
We got the ball inside a lot, got some really good looks at the basket and the ball just wouldn't go down for us. We missed some lay-ups and missed a lot of short jumpers, and that was in large part because of their defense.
answer asking good last question telling won
It doesn't make any difference. We're going to have to play a good team, and that's what it is. Last year, we won our league, and we were a 12th seed. We'll probably get another 12th seed. I'm just telling you. You're asking me a question that I don't have an answer for, so all I can do is guess.
good last league played schedule won
We played a very good non-conference schedule last year, we won the league and we won the tournament, and we were a 12th seed. It had no bearings, whatsoever. That's my opinion, anyway.
basketball good guys quite record saint state
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.
attention basketball good pay paying playing record
We're not going to pay attention to what our record is or anything like that. But what we are going to be paying attention to, are we playing good fundamental basketball and are we getting better each game.

We had a tough mountain to try to climb. We lost to a very good program.
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.
climb deal good great hard lost mountain played program team tough
I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.
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.
affected ball couple inside large missed pops shooting shots took
We had the ball inside and they took it from us. Pops had a couple of shots inside -- dunks he usually makes and he missed them. That really affected our shooting percentage. A large part of that had to do with their defense.
experience few games paid pick toughness
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.
allowed defense faster game pace played
Our defense allowed the game to be played at a much faster pace and I think that was the difference.
continue great guys opportunity respond step
We are going to continue to play the way we have been. It's a great opportunity for some guys to step up. ... I think they will respond to the challenge.
