best challenge early emotion game gonna match question
There's no question were gonna get their best shot. Hopefully, we're up to the challenge and we'll match their emotion early in the game and let them know we're for real.
ahead challenges drake everybody game good played rather tough
We feel good because of where we are. We'd much rather be one game ahead with two to go. Drake really challenges you and they're good at home. They've played everybody really tough in that building.
expect game played time
We played like we've been here 20 years in a row. You never expect a game to be this easy, especially this time of the year.
almost establish game gone minutes paul team
We didn't establish Paul or Kyle. We were almost 10 minutes into the game and (George Mason) didn't have a team foul. We've gone through Paul all year, and we didn't do that tonight.
game george good knew mason win
We were going to have to play an awfully good game to win here. We knew that. We know how good George Mason is.
complaints-and-complaining game home
No complaints. We had the first game on our home court. This is probably how it should be.
figured games team win
This team has figured out how to win games.
anybody asked figured game looked might though win
I told anybody who asked me that I thought we were going to play well offensively. We were fresh. We might have figured out a way to win the game 65-63 if we didn't make shots. But because we did it looked easy, even though it actually wasn't.
brought bump couple everybody games hard hit league losing might playing together
It's hard not to hit a bump in this league because everybody is so good. We're playing a little better. I think losing a couple of games might have brought us together as a team.
defense example free game missouri offensive shooting state throw whether won
We won the Evansville game differently than we won the Missouri State game, for example. Whether it's rebounding or free throw shooting or defense or offensive execution, it's been something different each game for us.
game good guys notice simple supposed
You don't want to notice them. You don't notice the really good ones. Those guys ref the game the way it's supposed to be called. Simple as that.
ball few games great last pass sheets team trying worked
If you look over the (statistic) sheets of our last few games, it's been that way. We've worked on it all year, trying to get them to pass the ball and use each other. They really did that well tonight. This was a great team game.
bad battle constantly fun game hard race says year
The four-way race has been fun. It says a lot about our league. There are no bad teams. Every game is hard and you can't take anything for granted. It's been a challenging year for everybody. You don't get a day off. You are constantly going from one battle to the next.
difference game hit shots tough
The difference in the game was that it 50 to 50, and they hit shots and we didn't during that stretch. Jacobson made some tough, tough shots.
