career games hard hope last reality season senior sink starts tough
Senior Day is unique. It's always tough for a lot of reasons. It's hard for them to know that it's their last to play at home. The reality of the season starts to sink in. There are no more games left. But some of them come out and have career performances. I just hope we're ready.

We went on the road and didn't play as well as we had hoped. But we have the opportunity on Friday to get our momentum going. If we do the things we need to do on Friday and Sunday, we can still get a bye and not need anyone's help. We've just got to take care of our business.

dues gel hardest last late paid proud seemed sure team time vigor year
We sure paid our dues this year. It seemed like every time we thought that we got it, we had to back up, regroup, reshuffle and refocus. Last year we were able to gel in late February, but this team never really did. This was one of the hardest years I've ever been through. But, I'm most proud of their fight, vigor and tenacity.
fight rolling standing table wild
I don't think we were standing at the table rolling sevens. We had to fight for every basket. There were charges. It was just wild and we weren't getting breaks.
