best game last played
We played our best game in our last game. We played tough.
biggest game match opportunity points second
That was game, set, match right there. That part of the game murdered us. The biggest thing is they got second opportunity after second opportunity, turnovers and points off turnovers.
bear early game marshall plays ready teams win
We've done that (jumped to early leads), but then teams bear down on us and that's what Marshall did. We're not ready to win a game like that yet and Marshall made the plays down the stretch.
great guy progress
He's a great guy and he has made progress.
guys imagine program respect team
I can't imagine what those guys and their program have been through. We respect them as much as any team in the league.
afraid anxious team
I don't think we're afraid of anybody. Our team will never quit. We're anxious to see where we stand.
conference difference winning
Look, UTEP was 11-3 in the conference for a reason. They had a lot to do in the difference in winning and losing. UTEP is a tournament-type team.
backwards far playing step took
Obviously, we're not there yet. We took a step backwards (Wednesday), as far as playing hard, and that all comes back to the coach.
experience guys learning none setting step
None of those guys have been in a setting like the FedEx Forum. It will be a learning experience and they will step up.
core good players positive sign
I feel real positive about things. We've got a core of players that we feel good about, and (we said) come Wednesday, we would sign some other very good players.
experience hurt leadership position
What really set us back was that he really showed a lot of leadership, ... Not the talent. The experience and leadership that he was in position to give us. That's where it hurt the most.
beat
This was a mismatch. We could play them 100 times, and we'd never beat them one time. We just wouldn't. That's just the way it is.
good
When you don't score, you don't look good that's all there is to it. We didn't score, and we didn't look good.
adversity bad dropping events fight fought head learned program triggers
When you don't make baskets, it really triggers a lot of bad events. That's where the program is right now. We can't fight through the adversity without dropping our head a little bit. But we fought to the end, and we learned a lot.
