On film sometimes you say you are doing that in the Patriot League, but he also had 20 something against Kansas and a big game against Syracuse. He's a high level player that just happens to be at a school that maybe doesn't get that much recognition.

We've had some tough breaks go against us. And yet, I know my team is still fighting and fighting and fighting. We're much improved. We're a better basketball team.

against average conference percent second shot team
We've been very consistent. No team has shot over 40 percent against us in conference play. We were right on our average here in the first half, and then they shellacked that in the second half.
against experience guys incredible knew men might playing savvy solid
That might have been the whole thing right there, the incredible experience as well as the solid play and their savvy out on the court. It was like old men playing against young guys out there. They knew what they were doing. They never got rattled. They never got shaken.
against good paying safety system understand win
I'm not paying the money. I understand the safety factor. We try, we have a good system in place, but there is only so much you can do. A win against a top-ranked team, at home, I probably would have jogged out there too.

defensive florida game good half held man pick second steven using
With Florida you have got to pick a poison. I thought in the second half by using man where there was more one-on-one coverage, Steven (Hill) really held his own. I thought he had a really good game on the defensive end.
few identified late players
We identified a few players late and we really feel like we got the player we wanted.
contagious dug lost ourselves streak winning
It would be a big boost. We lost the first two and dug ourselves a hole. Winning is contagious. We want to get on a contagious winning streak as we go down the stretch.
