bad defend five foul four mind missed needed settle shots taken took tough
We had missed foul shots, we took four or five bad shots that we had not taken in a while and they had made some tough ones. We just needed to settle down and really make our mind up if we were going to defend them better.
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.
against aggressive anybody country december easier four hope hurt last played sudden teams three
Really in the last two, three or four years we've been as aggressive as anybody in the country with our non-conference schedule. I hope that doesn't hurt us. I hope that all of a sudden that's not used against you, because we could have played three easier teams in December and we'd be 20-9 and everyone will be celebrating.
against averaged body buried felt four game games half holes last level mitchell needed points zone
The last four games, Darrel Mitchell has averaged about 26 or 27 points a game (actually 24.5), and we felt like against a zone he would find too many holes and get loose. We went to the zone once in the first half and he buried a 3 on us. I just felt like with Darrel Mitchell, right now, at the level he's been playing, we just needed to be body to body with him for 40 minutes.
foot gas goals left pedal reach work
We're going to win, 100 percent. We've got a lot of work left to do to reach our goals. We're not going to take our foot off the gas pedal at all.
advantages chance explain far men outweigh senior top tried
I've tried to explain to (Davidson) the advantages of him as a senior here, which I think would far outweigh any gamble. He's got a chance to be one of the top big men in the nation.
bodies
I sensed we got a little tired. They have a lot more bodies to play. I think they were a little fresher than we were. That's who we are right now.
cents check dollar either elizabeth everybody fan gift hopefully hoping match maybe motivate others quarter whatever
Elizabeth and I are going to pledge, personally, one dollar for every fan in attendance. I'm hoping to write a check for $10,000 that night. We are encouraging others to either match that gift or just give whatever they can. Maybe it's 50 cents or a quarter for everybody in attendance. Hopefully that can be something that will motivate others to do the same thing.
advance team watch
Florida's a team we're going to watch advance through the tournament.
chance eighth excited guys highly pose problems ranked team third tremendous underrated upset
First of all it's going to be a tremendous challenge. They are ranked third in the RPI and eighth in the AP. They are very underrated and will pose problems for us. On the other hand, our guys are very excited about having the chance to upset a team that is highly ranked.
guy guys practiced team throwing
Felix is the only guy on the team that can make the pass. We practiced it and had guys throwing it all over the gym.
figure team trying within
There's still things within our team that we're trying to figure out. We need to play better.
attention causes factor minute morris pay problems
Randolph Morris was a factor from the tip. You could tell from the first minute that he wanted to make a difference, and he did. He causes you problems while he's on the floor, and you have to pay attention to him.
absolutely couple game minutes took
Brewer for a couple of minutes just absolutely took the game over.
