kept
I thought we had them at that point, but they kept making shots.
I think a lot of things have to go right for us to win. They're that good.
both defensive effort ends great kids stepped team
Our kids really stepped up on the defensive end. It was just a great team effort on both ends of the floor.
capable good guards shooting starting
Our guards are starting to play better. We are capable of shooting it. We have good shooters.
asking close guys pressure
I was just asking our guys to get it close and put the pressure on them.
bed discipline handle hope kids players playing running today
Kids handle discipline different ways. Some get embarrassed. Some get mad. You just hope in the end they all use it the right way, and I think they will. I think the only way to get through to players today is playing time. It used to be running them, getting them out of bed and running them. Playing time, today, is really the answer. Hopefully, we won't have this again.
ball built half second shooting struggled
I think I probably built him up too high. He's struggled shooting the ball the second half of the season.
amount changes good hopefully lucky months ncaa next six takes tournament
I think it takes a significant amount of doing well in the NCAA Tournament before it changes your recruiting. But hopefully we'll get lucky over the next six months and get some good players.
close guy guys next night points rely teach win
I think that's the way to the teach the game. I want to be balanced. I don't want to have to rely on one guy to get 18 points every night or two guys to get 18 and 16. That's why we were able to win so many close games, because one night it was Paul, the next night it was Sean. The next night it was Kyle.
badly last ncaa team tournament worry year
Last year I think we wanted to be part of the NCAA Tournament so badly we didn't worry about the things that we could control, which is making our team better. That's what we're doing this year.
happiness proud
I was just so proud and so happy. I can't even tell you.
athletic efficient offense
I think they are a little more athletic ... but we are a lot alike. They have been much more efficient on offense than we have.
feels pressure puts weak
He's doing better this morning. It feels weak to him when he puts a lot of pressure on it.
coaching high kid kids moment numbers school smart start
His numbers in high school didn't lie. And then you start coaching the kid and he's so smart about the game. Those are the kind of kids we have to find to have a moment like this.
