four guys standing team tonight
It was very frustrating to see us play like that. I told our guys that I didn't know who that team was out there tonight ? four guys standing around while one guy went one-on-one. We didn't play our game.
close guys maybe pressure seen
I thought maybe we could do it. I've seen our guys get hot. But we could never get close enough to put pressure on them.
guys weeks
Now that that's over -- it's been a long two weeks -- it's about these guys right here.
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.
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.
asking close guys pressure
I was just asking our guys to get it close and put the pressure on them.
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.
almost guys half high level perfect played tennessee took
If you look at the numbers, we almost played a perfect half offensively. It took that, because I thought Tennessee played at a high, high level (Saturday). I thought they played really good. Our guys just wanted it.
continuing expect focus guys mean practice stay
The guys have been pretty shielded from it. I expect practice to go well and our focus to stay where it is. I don't see us changing. That doesn't mean we're going to play great. But I expect us to because we're continuing to practice well.
hurt selection shot
Our shot selection hurt us in the first half, hurt our defense, and that was really disappointing.
hurt selection shot valiant
Our shot selection hurt us in the first half. After that I thought we (gave) a valiant effort.
bad execution played second shots three took
Our execution was really, really good, especially in the second half. We only took three bad shots the whole game. We really played unselfish.
execution hard helped knowing today worked
Our execution was good. We worked really hard this week. Not knowing who you were going to play really helped us because we worked on us, and I think it showed today in our execution.
everybody figure figured gotten knows league learned nice six win won
We have done a lot of nice things here in our first six years. We have gotten better every year. We have won a lot of league games. We learned how to win on the road. We've won a league championship. Now we need to figure out how to play well in St. Louis. Creighton has figured that out. That's why everybody knows who Creighton is.
