couple dominate forced game guards guys hit inside second
The inside guys started to dominate us a little in the second half. That forced us to have to go a zone, and then their guards hit a couple of 3-pointers that put the game out of reach.
crazy kinda open
It was kinda crazy going back and forth. We were working the inside-outside game, and when they doubled down we got open shots.
fought surprising tail walking worked
It's really surprising how well he's playing. You see him walking, and he's walking with a limp, and you never would think that he's been able to play like he is. But he's worked his tail off and he's fought to get where he is.
beat great help
It was amazing. All I wanted was to help (the seniors) beat Mac. It's a great feeling.
build coming conference games pick played second teams tonight view weekend win
If we can pick up these two (TSU tonight and Prairie View A&M on Monday) at home, we'll be in much better shape. We've got a lot of the better teams in the conference coming to our place in the second half. We've played well at home. We need to win these games this weekend and build on them.
match sort
At first it was sort of awkward. Now, everybody's getting used to it. Overall, we just need to be able to match out intensity.
defense finished finishing floor good guys preaching proud work
I told the guys to just play good defense and no make (Riley-Smith) put it on the floor and work for a shot. They did that. I'm proud of these guys. I've been preaching to these guys about finishing off games. We finished one off tonight.
holes line offensive
The offensive line is just amazing. They made the holes for me and I was able to get through them.
knowing saying trying walk
I like trying to win. But this rivalry, it's just knowing that for one year, we can walk around saying we're the best.
bother came good lost practice ready seems
I'll tell you, they came out ready to practice. Nothing much seems to bother these guys. They haven't lost their confidence. And that's good to see. That's only going to make things better.
assumed bottom guys lay mentally teams
We just weren't mentally prepared. I think the guys just assumed that teams at the bottom (of the conference) would lay down for us.
game played power
We used our power game when we had too. We got right down there and played the aggressors.
ball few games good intensity last needed past played playing tonight win
We played with intensity tonight and that's what we've been missing. We've been playing so lackadaisical the last few ball games and we really needed to get past that. This was a good win for us tonight.
defense ourselves pride wins
We pride ourselves in defense and like they say, defense wins championships.
