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.
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.
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.
bit good played teams
They're every bit as good as any of the teams we've played if not better in a lot of respects.

I think we've had a problem putting teams away all year. They (CMU) played harder than us that last 15 minutes (of regulation) and it almost cost us. (CMU head coach) Jay Smith gets his guys to play hard for him.

We have to do a good job on their big three, and make sure none of their (other players) hurt us.

We had them on the ropes and didn't finish them off.

We gotta be able to guard their dribble penetration.

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.
beat figure mirror ourselves
We have to look ourselves in the mirror and figure out a way to beat them.
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.

Bubba wants to explore his options elsewhere, and our program wishes him the best of luck.
