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.
hurt league led played selection shot sweet
I don't think we played particularly well in the first half. We didn't play together. We didn't play the way that led us to a league championship and the Sweet 16. Our shot selection hurt us in the first half.
confident league reason
The reason you can be confident is because our league is so good.
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.
care home league looked pro team took
We're 2-0 and we took care of our home court. This league is loaded. (Bradley) looked like a pro team out there.
best carried league lose matter ncaa practice pressure round wait
If you could have been at our practice the other day, the pressure is off. We had our best practice we've had in months. We carried that 23-year wait around with us. No matter what happens, if we go and lose in the first round and don't make the NCAA Tournament, you can't take that league championship away from us.
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.
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.
best both fine future wish
Both Jared and Gabe are fine young men, and I wish them both the best in their future endeavors.
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.
pressure
There's more pressure on us to play well.
