dean hurt
Dean being nicked up for them is like Quinn being hurt for us. And I don't want to think about it.
hit lefty rode shot talented tough
That shot Bowman hit was a tough shot. Torin (Francis) rode him into the cheerleaders and he hit a lefty runner. That's just a talented play. You can't do much better than what he did right there.
couple felt frame human human-nature kicks losses mind nature takes
Your frame of mind is a little different after that and human nature kicks in. Our losses - not only a couple in a row, but any one of them - we felt like we could have won. It takes its toll.
discussed floor guys helped poised rely rocks seniors since
Our seniors helped with a poised demeanor. We discussed that since Saturday. They were rocks that the guys on the floor could rely on.
alone defense defensive gave lead left post shots solid
Luke's been very solid there. He's come a long way with his post defense and his defensive rebounding. (Fordham) left him alone and he made shots and gave us a double-digit lead we didn't relinquish.
along bit game plug slow
Let's slow the whole game down a little bit and see if we can just plug along and be better each day.
step taking
Let's see if we can put two together. That's the only step we can think about taking right now.
ball excellent key rebound second
Second half, we were excellent defensively. We did rebound the ball well at key times.
focus great high kids love school since starts state success thankfully tried
Since I've been at Notre Dame, I've really tried to focus on the state, and thankfully we've had a lot of success with it. I love the kids in the state of Indiana. I think it starts with great high school coaches.
concerned front invested loose shot
At least in front of the guys, I was as loose as heck. I was disappointed because we've invested so much. I was just concerned that you don't think you have a shot any more.
distracted guys
It's going to be crazy; it's going to be wild. I don't want our guys too distracted by that.
good south urban
It's good we won. It's the Urban Irish, the Urban Irish, all right? Even in South Bend.
bit great love people ratings relate
It's great drama, isn't it? We're like entertainment. We're a little bit of a miniseries right now that people can relate to, where everyone's a heartbreaker. The ratings people have got to love us because every one of them comes down to the wire.
best felt gave lift lose played
They gave you a lift and really kind of played off each other. That's the best I felt substituting. We didn't lose any momentum.
