close game speed teams tried
Through these times, we've become close as a team. We try to make teams do things out of the ordinary. We tried to make them speed their game up.
accept both game great guards hurt job lost point possibly supposed thrown tomorrow tone win
We lost both of our point guards at tone time, and that will hurt any team. We're still supposed to go out there and play hard. KB (Kevin Burleson) did a great job for being just thrown out to the wolves, and we have another one tomorrow. We're not down on this loss. We'll take it, but we won't accept it. We've got a game tomorrow and we can possibly win that one.
coach effort floor game guys hard played regardless seven situation sure year
I've said all year - coach is going to make sure the effort is there. He's not going to put guys on the floor that aren't going to play hard. Regardless of the way our situation is, if we had seven, he'd make sure those seven played hard or you don't play. We're going into the game with that mind-set.
again bit bug good hardest leader left maintain ourselves played position somebody tried win
We went out there and played our hardest and put ourselves in good position to win the game. Then once again we got bit by that bug of somebody going down in the game. Our leader left us, we tried to maintain it and it just slipped away.
fought hope
We fought and fought and fought. The only thing we can do is play the same way and hope that things go our way in the end.
bit couple games last swing
I'd been in a little bit of a slump. The last couple of games I kind of got back into the swing of things.
smartest
Basically, they're going to get caught. They aren't the smartest criminals.
left nobody since stopped
Since we left the court, nobody has stopped smiling.
fair team
I'm a little fatigued, but I can play. It wouldn't be fair to the team to play if I wasn't up to it.
dropped extremely fast hard played
T.J. is an extremely fast guy. We played hard and we just dropped the ball.
forced hopefully injuries players rotation takes toll
It takes its toll when you have to play out of position, but hopefully we will get it together. The injuries have forced a lot of players that weren't in the rotation to get in the action.
ashamed came court team
We were ashamed we came on the court like that. We are a better team than we showed.
great hard people saw worked
We worked hard for this. The people here, we saw in the preseason we could be a great team. Honestly, we should be 3-0.
catch flu speak time
They say any time you catch the flu it's the sickest you've ever been in your life. I can speak to that. It's the truth.
