focused four guys hard kept kids knew playing proud ranked row stayed sticking stuck teams telling three together understood
I'm really, really proud of the kids. We kept telling the guys about sticking together. We went through a hard road, playing four nationally ranked teams in a row and three of them on the road. I'm proud that we stuck together and understood we could get it done if we just stayed focused and did the things we knew we could do.
against anybody basketball capable coming energy focus games good playing share teams win
These games show we are capable of playing with anybody if we have the focus and energy we need to have. Now we have games coming against non-ranked teams that are still good basketball teams and we have to play with the same passion. If we do that, we will win our share of games.

We have a good basketball team but we are limited in certain ways. At this time of year, everybody knows what everybody can do. We have to take those things away from people. If you allow people to play to their strengths, and we let Syracuse play to their strengths, then you know you are going to struggle.

That was a huge win for our program because we're rebuilding. The way this league is set up now is incredible. Anyone can beat anyone else on any given night. Being 2-2 is good for us. We know we have a long way to go. But, hopefully, the win against Louisville will give our guys some confidence.
