floor freshmen seen series
This will be the most freshmen on the floor that this series has seen in a long time.
athletic defensive physical stanford team
This team is much more physical and athletic than that Stanford team. They're also a much better defensive team.
definition team
This was the definition of a team win.
attacked bit couple holes late pickle stay teams wind zone
We had a couple of different things we did. I didn't think they attacked it well at times. Sometimes, you can stay in it too long and teams can find holes in your zone and I thought they did a couple of times late in the game. We wind up in a little bit of a pickle when we don't have depth.
felt good late road shots today
We've been pretty good on the road with our poise, but I thought today we got a little hurried. Late in the game, LSU made some big shots and we weren't making shots. I just felt like they had a little more in their tank.
mindset win
We need to go in with the mindset that we need to win the tournament. If we've done enough already, that's fine. We still need to go in with that attitude.
anyone change confidence jump shot
Today, we were a jump shot away from being in the 'Sweet 16. I wouldn't change a thing. I have as much confidence in Ronald Steele as anyone I ever have. We got what we wanted and it just didn't go down.
absolute advantage bunch game opportunity turn
We wanted to take advantage of an opportunity if it was there. We didn't want to just make the game an absolute helter-skelter, run-up-and- down. But we didn't want to turn opportunities down either. And we had a bunch of them.
battle lose
We put the big lineup in, so it's disappointing to lose the rebounding battle like that.
finger plug putting tonight
We wanted to get more than that. With our team, it's like putting our finger in a dike. You plug one hole, another one opens. Tonight it was rebounding.
chance
It's unbelievable what they've done and, hopefully, we'll get a chance to keep playing.
four free key plays stepped throws
Davidson stepped up and made those four free throws at the end. We made some key plays at key times.
balanced both definition ends sound team win
That's the definition of a team win on both ends of the floor. We were as balanced offensively as we have been all year. Defensively, we were as fundamentally sound as we were all year.
close gesture great night number senior shows wear
It was a great gesture by Evan Brock. Unselfish. To wear Chuck's number on (Brock's) senior night just shows how close we all are as a team.
