anytime continue good happen lay line
Anytime you lay it on the line like that and lose, you're disappointed. If we continue to have that effort, I think good things will happen for this team.

There's no in-between - you win or you lose. But if we continue to have that effort, I think good things can happen for this team.
conference fighting full games good gotten keeps necessary opening stretch team teams tough win
It's been a tough opening stretch in the conference. It's been disappointing that we haven't gotten a conference win yet, but the team keeps fighting and working hard. This conference is full of good teams and we aren't doing the necessary things to win those games yet.

We were not as physical in the first half as we needed to be. We got out to a fairly good start, but didn't play well in the final 10 minutes.

We have to shoot the ball better. We just are making good basketball plays and decisions that good basketball teams make to win.

coaches despite mark playing progress record seen shows
Despite our mark on the road, I think we are playing better each game. I don't think the record shows the progress we have seen as coaches on the floor.
great job playing sam
Sam has done a great job for us this year. He is not playing like a freshman.
forget great handled job period player pleased sam threw transition watch
Sam has done a great job for us. There's always that transition period for a player to get adjusted, and Sam has handled it very well. We threw him into the fire, and we couldn't be more pleased with how he has handled it. When you watch him play, you forget he's a freshman.
basketball care pleased smart
I was pleased with the effort, but not in the loss. We didn't play as smart or take care of the basketball like we need to or should have.

Memphis made the necessary shots when they needed to and we might gave gotten a little tired towards the end, which allowed Memphis to make the shots and get the rebounds to win.
