came good hard needed played
They did what they needed to do. It came down to the backboard. We played our big lineup, so we're disappointed we didn't win. Kelvin's got a good team. They played hard and rebounded well.
ball beat count foul good hands hard late quick shooter
He's really smart, really quick and I think he can beat you in different ways. He's such a good foul shooter that when he's fouled, it's hard to not count those as two points. ... We want the ball in his hands late in the game.
hard pace prepare team
I don't want to take anything away from Birmingham-Southern, but they're a very hard team to prepare from in one day. It's hard to get them out of the pace they want to play.
chance decided hard players proud themselves
I'm proud of our guys. I think our players just decided to rally, play hard and do everything they can to give themselves a chance to win.
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.
