against anyone chance conference everybody good hottest last operating team win
We have to play the hottest team in the conference and we didn't play particularly well against them last time. Stetson has as good of a chance as anyone to win this thing. We need everybody operating on all cylinders.
ball break bring good helping men shoot stop team
We had our (big) men helping bring the ball up. So, if we were able to break the press, we had good scorers who were able to stop and shoot on the other end. This team is getting smarter, and we know who should take (the shots).
ball david excited fine fortunate gives good join late man pressure putting represents run student team terrific
We are excited to have David join our program, ... He is a fine young man who represents all that we look for in a student-athlete at FAU. He's a good person and a good student from a good family. As a player, he gives us another ball handler who can run the team while putting terrific pressure on opposing guards. We were fortunate to find him at such a late date.
bit bunch divorce eggs either enjoyable genuinely good grocery guys laugh reminisce throw
It's like any divorce. If you see your ex-wife at the grocery store, either she's going to throw a bunch of eggs at you, or you're going to have a genuinely enjoyable conversation. To be able to see those guys and laugh with them and reminisce a little bit was good for my soul.

Rodney is a tough kid. He really has a good work ethic and is one of the hardest working players I've been around.
ball care easy free good gordon picking points safety
Stetson scored 23 points off turnovers. We have to take care of the ball and take good shots. We have to make the easy play because Gordon sits back there like a free safety picking off passes.
ball decent throw
We couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. We got decent looks, we just couldn't make a basket.

The thing about New Orleans is that you step out of your hotel and you feel the energy and see the fans decked out in school colors, ... And then of course, after the game you knew you had a place to celebrate.

I've never been more disappointed after a victory than today.
against effort florida great job moved north trapped
We did an outstanding job of controlling the ball. Offensively, we moved it around effectively and efficiently against their zone. Defensively, we trapped and got North Florida out their rhythm. That was a great effort by our team.
experience
We are the hunted, and that is a new experience for our guys.
cut entire heads hung moral point proud season
I was proud of the way we cut the lead. We could have hung our heads and it could have been a 20- or 25-point loss. It's not a moral victory, but at this point you have to look at the entire season and I'm proud of those guys.
execute half maybe tried
I was very disappointed in the first half with the way we played. We were not sharp. Maybe I tried to get them too jacked up. Maybe we were too aggressive. We didn't execute well.

It doesn't rally concern us, because he didn't attend Philly Lutheran. Paul had already graduated.
