horse playing
They were hitting, but it was like they were playing horse out there.
practice ready saw
I'm real disappointed. I could tell we weren't ready to play. I saw it in practice the day before and I saw it before the game.
decent fairness foul gotta guard holding job knew learned michael puts time trouble trying wins
I learned a long time ago, you gotta take wins and be happy. I knew they'd come back. In fairness to our guys, we got a lot of foul trouble in that first half. Trying to guard Michael White, we did a decent job of holding him to 16 points, but he puts a lot of fouls on people.
answer five minutes time
Five minutes to go I thought we still had a chance. And every time they go into (Slack) it was just two points. We just had no answer for him.
handled seen though
Even though we haven't seen a lot of it, I was a little disappointed at how we handled their press.
christmas four games loss lost overtime playing plus three won
After Christmas, we won four in a row. But three of the games we had lost (on the season) were on last-second shots. Plus we had a double-overtime loss and an overtime loss. So it's not like we weren't playing well.
good recruiting smart year
When you come off a championship year, you have a pretty good recruiting year usually. They're a young team, but a smart team.
eighth kids played ready
They played like they wanted that eighth seed. We had some kids not ready to play.
great
I just thought Tafari had a great game.
came conference ended national time
By the time conference play got here, he really came on. We've ended up going to the national tournament, and he's a big part of that.
kids overtime took
I give our kids credit. We went into the overtime and took charge. We could have been down in the dumps.
billy coaches envied great people respected saying
I envied the way he was. I'm not just saying this, Billy Carlisle was just a great person. He was so respected by other coaches and people in general.
