came doubt gonna good hard heal injury matter natural pray rookie sure thumb watch willie
It?s hard. He?s such a good guy, it?s hard to just watch it. You?ve just got to pray for him. But it?s Willie Green. He?s gonna do everything he can to get back on time. He?s just a natural athlete. I?m sure he?ll heal quickly. He came back from his thumb injury well his rookie year, I think. I don?t have any doubt that he?s gonna come back. It?s just a matter of how long it?s gonna take him.
contested game hard hit missed
He hit that (three-pointer) over me in the first game of the season. I thought I contested it so hard the first game and he still made it. I was, like, 'Not again.' But he missed it.
athletic case finish gone harder seems step tonight
If you really have fear, you play a little harder than we did and we didn't play that way. It seems like we're a step slow. We're not the most athletic team, so we have to me more aggressive. We've gone over everything we can think of why we don't finish off games, but we don't and tonight was just another case of that.
allen greater leader leading playing tough
We?re just playing together, we?re playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he?s the key. He?s the leader and he?s been playing great. He?s been a lot more vocal. He has a different look in his eye. And when he has that look, he?s pretty tough to stop.
ball finished good isolation plays rely turn
We didn't turn the ball over and we got good shots. We didn't just rely on isolation plays and that was something that was different tonight. We just finished it off really well.
good maybe
Maybe it'll be a good thing. Maybe we just need to get out of here and just say it's us or nothing.
basketball defense offense playing slowing style talked terms watch
We've talked more about defense in practice. When we watch film, that's all we watch is defense -- we don't even watch our offense right now. (Defense) has just been our focus. We're playing a different style of basketball right now in terms of slowing it down. We're playing well.
knows needed shown together tough
We're all just pretty disappointed. It was a long year, a tough year, a disappointing year. We're a lot better than what we've shown all year. I think everyone knows that. We just didn't come together like we needed to. There wasn't the cohesiveness we needed on this team.
exactly gone last season trying win
You always wanted to get that last win at home. The season hasn't gone exactly the way we wanted it to go, but you want to end it right - so that's what we're trying to do.
played
We just didn't play well in the first half. That second, we played harder, played a lot better, a lot more energy.

We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. We've given that up in three quarters a lot of times lately.
gave giving last overtime points quarters seems three
We gave up 86 points in an overtime game. It seems like we've been giving up 86 points in three quarters in the last month.
allen greater leading playing tough
We are playing with a greater sense of urgency, and Allen is leading us. I really feel like he's the key. He has a different look in his eye. When he has that look, he's pretty tough to stop.
days figure four last miss rhythm sick three week
I just can't figure out how he can miss that many days and come back and play like that. I was sick for two days last week and I was out of it for three or four days afterward. I couldn't get into a rhythm at all.
