character close confidence duke game games good grown hard matured playing second since team
That was the second game of the season. Playing a team like Duke the second game of the season, that's something that's really hard to simulate. We've grown a lot, which is a good thing. That's 15, 16 games since then, we've matured as a team. We've had a lot of close games and our character and confidence have grown.
against believe duke games guys since team
(It has been) 15 games since then. That makes a difference. Our guys believe in themselves. They know that the team that went out there against Duke wasn't us.
bring defense energy focused game good job needed plan stop taking team
We've been a focused team, a team that's executed the game plan and a team that's done a good job taking away threes. Tonight, that didn't happen. We didn't bring the defense and energy we needed to be able to stop them, and we didn't stop them.
everybody four major motivation teams
It's disappointing that everybody can't get to the tournament. We should all be (together). We're all in it together. But there's four teams that don't go, and that's a major motivation in itself.
against bouncing capable duke knew nearly next team
They knew that the team that went out there against Duke wasn't nearly what we are capable of doing. It was just about us bouncing back and getting better the next game.
ball conscious plays shots teams
That's why they went zone, to keep the ball away from Kelly. They were very conscious of Kelly, as all teams are. We want to get him shots, but it's important not just to get shots but to make plays if he's double-teamed.
game lead playing team
This is a game that I think we needed. Sometimes if you have a big lead you get away from the fundamentals and you get away from playing team basketball. We didn't.
game knock slip team tough
When they get it going on all cylinders, the game can slip away, and in a hurry. We already know that they're a tough team rebounding and they get out in transition. Once they knock down shots, they're real tough.
body definitely deter finishing game ncaa resume road strong wins work
We're disappointed in the game tonight, but it doesn't deter the body of work that we put together. Being 9-7 (in the conference), finishing seventh, and also the road wins we got, our resume is definitely strong enough to get us into the NCAA Tournament.
beginning defense goes great guy guys job stan until
That's the kind of guy that Stan goes a great job guarding. Until Stan comes back, our guys have to take up the slack. We've got to play better defense from beginning to end.
plans speak
I can't speak for Seton Hall. I don't know what their plans are. I can only speak for me and our team.
based confident resume wait
Based on what we've accomplished this year, without a doubt, I'm confident in our resume to get in. We just have to wait and see what happens.
adrenalin guess hearing huge looked minister name running
I guess I looked like a minister in church, running up and down the aisle. Just hearing your name is a huge adrenalin rush.
grow maybe played pressure
Maybe we put too much pressure on ourselves. And I think that's something we have to grow from because I don't think we played as confidently as we had.
