belief believe biggest close difference doubt games kids last season teams won
The biggest difference between the two teams isn't talent, it's that belief factor. Teams that haven't won have that doubt in their mind. We won a lot of close games last season and our kids believe in themselves.
game looked
It looked like it was going to be a 6-0 game there for a while.
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.
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.
game playing thinking
They have been playing well. I come into every game thinking it is going to be close. I thought it was going to be a nip-and-tuck game. We just got it done on defense.
game help mac ready tournament win
It's another game that we need to win to get ready for the MAC Tournament and to help our postseason chances.
game left trouble
I thought they were in trouble when they left here, but they rallied. They will be in every game because they defend.
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.
knew people
I knew this was going to happen. They had some injuries, but when they got people back, they were going to be tough.
chip last shoulder
They will come in with a chip on their shoulder after last year. But we have an incentive, too. It's going to be a big game. But all of them are big.
coach cyclical hard jay kids pieces smith university
If Jay Smith isn't the coach here, then this university doesn't know what it is doing. This is a cyclical league, and he has the pieces in place to get back to the top. You can see it with how hard his kids play even when they are down.
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.
