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.
andrew bouncing calm excited guys hit locker room run settled shots trying
I think the guys were just a little too excited at the start. We were trying to calm them down in the locker room and they were bouncing all over the place. But they settled down. Andrew hit some big shots for us and really set us off on a run there.
ball early game hurry push trying
I don't think we were intimidated. Early on in the game we were just trying to hurry the ball and push the ball to make them run, but I don't think intimidation was a factor.
against couple fighting fights-and-fighting games guys last playing playoff sports team trying understand
We've been fighting for the last couple of games to keep these guys focused. We're trying to get them to understand that when you're playing against a team fighting for their playoff lives, they're going to give it everything they've got.
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.
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.
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.
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.
