ahead experience fought guys halftime helped last moral victories year
I told our guys at halftime the most important thing is that we fought for 40 minutes. There are no moral victories to being ahead at halftime. I think the experience more than anything from last year helped us through this one.
focus great jordan leads minutes per rebounds sharp spark team
I think Jordan can be a great spark off the bench. This will give us a little different dynamic. Sharp leads our team in rebounds per minutes (played). And that's got to be a focus for us this weekend.
crap excited focusing happy hosting jump next quit start talking trying winning
I can't say I'm excited or happy about the results, but I'm not disappointed that we can quit talking about mid-major polls, about hosting tournaments, winning tiebreakers and crap like that. We can just jump in and start focusing on trying to win the next game. When 14 (games) are over we'll see where we are.
awful feeling games guys mean stretch
Guys are feeling pretty good, but it's on now. We've got 15 games before any postseason stuff, and there's not one game in that stretch that doesn't mean an awful lot.
good stay
Here we are, a good old-fashioned underdog. We just need to stay in the fight.
found happy needs win
He's found his niche. Defensively he needs to make some strides, as do the other guys. I'm pretty happy offensively but the way you win championships is with defense.
answer seem
We just didn't seem to have an answer (for Smith).
hope lose minutes road stay strong win
We have to have that road mentality, where you're not going to win or lose in a 5-minute stretch. Just ratchet it up and stay disciplined and stay strong and hope at the end of 40 minutes you've made enough plays.
blocks game leads miserable nine obviously seen shooting shot somewhat
We haven't seen a shot blocker like that. They had nine blocks in the game and obviously that leads into our somewhat miserable shooting percentage.
damage gave half offensive rebounds seem smith
We gave up 12 offensive rebounds in the first half with Mr. Smith doing his damage inside. We just didn't seem to have an answer.
across found run safe teams
We haven't been able to find a weakness, and I think it's safe to say most teams that he's run across haven't found a weakness.
needed remember today
Today was the first day that I can remember in a lot of years that I needed a nap.
awesome crossing playing point situation survive trying
It would be an awesome situation if we could end up playing NAU. But at this point it's not even crossing my mind. It's all about trying to survive (tonight).
figure level next sooner
He's really, really good. We need to figure out a way to get him to the next level ? the sooner the better.
