fight shot
He had to fight for every shot and every point.
college continues proud teammate terrific year
Really, the thing I'm most proud about is, he continues to get better each year that he's been in college. He's a terrific kid, but he's a better teammate for our program.
expect games shot
I expect more games like this, the way we shot it.
against caught difference game guy huge hurt known player players role step uncommon
That caught all of us off guard. That's a huge difference in the game is that you have a guy who's not known as a scorer, who's known as a role player ... in our losses, that's really what's hurt us: Some role players step up and make some uncommon 3s against us.
communication helped skills team
I think his effort, his communication skills and his willingness to do all the little things has really helped our team immeasurably.
college great happy kids late playing rather record sleep
We don't have a great record playing in the afternoon, so I'm happy we have a late start. The kids like it, too. They would rather play late at night. College kids like to sleep in.
bonus hard huge kids opportunity programs thrilled worked
We are thrilled to be one of the programs to have an opportunity to be on TV. It's a huge bonus for the kids who have worked so hard ... to put us in this position.

We fought like heck but we didn't have enough.

We have a terrific backcourt. Jared played his normal stellar game.
amongst gonna growing james teammates trust
James has made strides. There's a growing trust amongst his teammates that James is gonna come through if we get him going.
forget halftime played playing runs score second team teams
We played as well as we could play in the first half. I said to this team at halftime this is really about us going out and playing a better second half. Forget about the score and try to put it away and not let teams make runs on you like they have.
change chip higher shoulders
I don't want us to look at this like we're the higher seed. To me, Marist historically has not done well in the MAAC tournament. We need to change that. We need to have a chip on our shoulders when we play these games.
ball body floor guard hard key lane line punch running scoring swinging throwing
The key for us is throwing the ball in the lane and getting some baskets. To me it's like a body punch in boxing. You just can't keep swinging at the head, which is sometimes what we do with the 3-point line. You have to make them feel it in the lane. ... If we are scoring in the lane and scoring from the 3-point line and Jared is running the ball down the floor and getting lay-ups, sometimes it's hard to guard our team.
