controlled game hammered missed open run slip
We controlled the game for most of it but let it slip away. We missed open looks. We could have hammered them. They got that little run and we never recovered.
good hurt job none sure
We have to do a good job on their big three, and make sure none of their (other players) hurt us.
finish
We had them on the ropes and didn't finish them off.
dribble gotta guard
We gotta be able to guard their dribble penetration.
depth hard leads negative people pure teams work
People can be negative about the leads we have lost, but I think a lot has to do with pure depth. We work hard to get the lead, but other teams have more depth and they come at you with that.
beat figure mirror ourselves
We have to look ourselves in the mirror and figure out a way to beat them.
board games goes locker somebody teams whoever wins won word
We put on our board (in the locker room) the word 'spurt.' Teams play even. Then somebody goes on a spurt and then another. Most games are won by spurts. Whoever has the most spurts wins games.
key needed team
We needed to clinch Cleveland. That's a key for this team because we are not that deep.
coach great group script since
For us to come in after 17 years of never being in the postseason since Coach Huggins was here, you couldn't write a better script then to play Temple. For a fledgling group like us, to come in and be able to play them is just a great honor.
glad monkey needed next program wins
I am glad to get the monkey off my back. The program needed the 20 wins more than anything to take that next jump. It's big for us.
best explore luck options program wants wishes
Bubba wants to explore his options elsewhere, and our program wishes him the best of luck.
figure guy hard knowledge skill staff strong tribute weight
Mentally, you figure out that if you're not strong enough, you need to get in the weight room. The hard part is all that skill and knowledge and ability, and he's got that. It's a tribute to their staff to find a guy like that who slipped through the cracks.
beat last monkey monkeys season taking
We need to beat them. You always want to get a monkey off your back. This season we got the 20-win monkey off of our back. Last season, we got to Cleveland. This season, we got the (first-round) bye. We need to just keep taking monkeys off of our back.
bring four games locker minutes move room talked ten tough twelve until
Twelve minutes. We got into the locker room at 7:58, and we talked about until ten minutes after 8. That was it. I don't want to bring it up again. We have to move on because we have four tough games left.
