best dollars extra few gotten guys officials thousand top
It's a lot of guys we had that were our top officials that just went away because they could make 6, 7, 800 dollars more going to a different league. Our league's gotten so much better. There's so much at stake. You don't want to, for a few extra thousand dollars, not do what's best for your league.
good halftime strong style win
It's a big win because of the way we won. That wasn't our style of game. I told them at halftime that we're not very good at football, but we've got to play football. We had to be strong and go at the basket.
believe coaching league players three top
This league is good, from top to bottom. The coaching is good, the players are good. I wouldn't have said that three years ago, but I really believe it now.
against darned hard last open shot year
They're better than they were last year and then they were pretty darned good. It's hard to get an open shot against them.
anybody athletic battle blow definitely gonna guard jump taller together
They're gonna be taller more athletic than we are, and they can jump a little higher. We're definitely not flashy. . . . We try to guard and rebound, just try to play together on the other end. We don't blow anybody out. Everything is a battle for us.
people
It's something the people here have wanted for a long time.
aggressive
They were aggressive when we were on our heels.
hit missed
They hit shots, and we didn't during that stretch. We had two wide-open threes and missed them both.
playing plug system
They've just been really playing well. I think they just keep the same system and plug him in there.
coach great win
They've got great players. Mac's a great coach, but you don't win without great players.
creeps goes handle talk
It's just something that doesn't go away. Sometimes you talk about selfishness and it goes away. This one, it creeps back in and you have to handle it again. I'm on them all the time.
best switched
It wasn't our best possession. They switched out and we couldn't get it to him ... we panicked.
easier helps playing
It really helps playing Drake. Only having one day to prepare, it was easier for us. I don't know if it was easy, but it was easier.
change days great last later name pops selection six sunday sweet team tournament
It's been a great ride. On Selection Sunday our name pops up there, and six days later we're in the Sweet 16. Things change quick. But we're the same level-headed team that went into the tournament last weekend.
