certainly gave gives
He gave us a jump-lift. We're certainly going to need him. He doesn't always play great, but he gives us energy.
anybody moon
We don't have anybody in Moon Township who's 7-2, 320 pounds. I don't think there's anybody in Pennsylvania who's 7-2, 320 pounds.
attacking beat gave mostly zone
We were attacking their man-to-man well, and they're mostly a man-to-man team. Their zone gave us problems. We didn't attack it right. Their zone beat us.
francis good hard itching job seem slow stopping time
We started off too slow and didn't seem to have our legs. I think they were itching to play because of the time off, and it was hard to get back into it. But give St. Francis credit. They made a run, and we didn't do a good job stopping it.
focused home protect stay
We have to stay focused on Monmouth. We have to protect our home court. That is so important in this league.
everybody time
We're a little banged up, but everybody is banged up this time of year. No excuses.
feeling forward future improving worry
We can't worry about what just happened. We have to look forward to the future. We have to keep on improving and not getting complacent, not feeling comfortable.
best conference five game games home next pleased record wins worry
We can't worry about this being our best home record or best conference record, or any of that. I am pleased we are 5-0 and not 0-5, but we just have to worry about the next game because we have 13 more games to play. Five wins doesn't get you into the (NCAA) Tournament. We can't get complacent.
good tried
We were going inside. We just tried to get a good shot.
harder worse
We were slow, sluggish. It was like we didn't have our legs. It was like the harder you try, the harder you play, the worse it gets. It wasn't smooth.
basketball crowds exciting goal good
We have a good atmosphere. Our goal is to give the crowds exciting basketball because they have been loud, especially this season.
four games given help home last past played three winning
Winning these past two games at home have given us so much confidence. We have really played well, and that will help us as we play three of our last four games on the road.
ended expected great nobody picked proud starter
We made great progress. The expectations were low. We had only one starter back. We were picked 10th. Nobody expected us to be here, so I'm really proud of our effort, but you're disappointed the way it ended up. Being up 49-45, you had a chance.
carrying game great jeremy job plan quick sit
Our game plan wasn't for A.J. to get two quick fouls and sit out. Jeremy did a great job carrying us in the first half.
