home league win
Obviously, we're more comfortable at home. In our league we want to win every home game. If we can do that, we'll be in the mix.
knew point start tough
I knew he'd start right away at point guard. He's a tough kid, and when we need scoring, he scores. And when we need him to make passes, he does that, too.
games glad home momentum win
I'm just glad to be going home. We'd like to try and win two games at home and get some momentum going into the (league) tournament.
bricks game hit sure throwing ton watch
I've got to watch the film. I'm still not sure what happened. It just hit me like a ton of bricks throwing the game away.
coached continue defense felt games good helpless life offensive played playing team watch
I've played a lot of games in my life and coached a lot. I never felt so helpless on the sidelines, to watch a team that I thought was playing pretty good defense just continue to give up offensive rebounds.
bad cut defense finally five lead left minutes playing stayed three
The story continues. We got off to a bad start, but we stayed in it, finally started playing defense and then we couldn't make a basket. We had three wide-open 3s with 12 minutes left to cut the lead to five and we couldn't make one.
chris level player second trouble winning
Chris Holm was a real player in the second half. We're going to have trouble winning if he doesn't play at that level consistently.
deserved deserving game lose loss second win
It's as frustrating a loss as I think I've ever had, but I don't feel badly. We deserved to lose that game and BU is very deserving to win that game for what they did to us in the second half.
difference
There's a big difference being down 17-3 to Binghamton and being down that to Albany.
easier offense
The offense should be a little easier for us at home.
free games kept lead panicked smart team throws
That's one of the things that our team has, we got some smart guys. I thought we could have panicked like we have some games today, and we didn't. That lead kept going down but the free throws really helped.
crowd last might minutes
That last 10 minutes was painful. If I was in the crowd I might have left, too.
guys happy hung played
We're just happy to be alive. I think our guys hung in there. I thought they played really smart.
player tried
We've tried to make him our go-to player all year. He's had his moments, but he's been inconsistent in that role.
