credit good job percent plays shot struggling today
Give DePaul credit. They did a good job of making plays down the end. They had been really struggling down the line. They shot 92 percent today so they did a good job at that.
ball great guy open
Gino did a great job; the ball just didn't fall. And Darryl was just being unselfish. He thought someone was open and the guy made a steal.
build great win
This was a great win for us. Now we have to build on it.
bother good job leadership quick regroup
We're young, and we let too many things bother us too quick as a team. And that's when leadership comes in, and we didn't do a good job of leadership tonight. We'll regroup and come back.
basketball beat continue good moral
We're not in it for moral victories. We've got a good basketball team. We have to continue to get better. They have so many weapons, they can beat you in so many ways.
against basketball excited focused good great guys lifetime opportunity realize stay team top
We just have to stay focused on what we do and realize this is a great opportunity for us to play against a very good basketball team. Our guys are excited to play the top team in the nation. You don't always get these opportunities in a lifetime or career.
attention paid proud rebound
We paid a lot more attention to detail. We know we can defend, we can rebound and we can play hard. We did that tonight. I'm really proud of my team.
games locker means playing room
I told them in the locker room that it does hurt, but that means we're playing games that mean something.
defensive four game games good last
I told them we've got to have a defensive mindset. We're not good in high-scoring games. I thought we did some really good things in this game but we just didn't play well in the last four minutes.
conference overall tournament
It's probably odd. You shouldn't be able to play in a prestigious tournament if you are under .500. You take a conference like ours, to get to .500, it's unbelievable. With conference record, you could be under .500, but overall record, you should be over .500.
anybody chance compete focus huge learn learned practice week win
It's a huge win for our program. But we have to take this and learn from it just as we have learned from our losses. If we can have the same focus we did this week in practice and in this game, we have a chance to compete with anybody in the country.
chance finally happy
We are getting better. We are just happy to have a chance to finally do this and now we'll go from here.
certain moments
We play very well at certain moments and we have times where we struggle. We have to be more consistent.
attack key moments wants
We didn't have any more timeouts. I just wanted us to attack the basket. In key moments like that, no one wants to foul.
