ball defense felt guys kick level shooting stayed sudden team
I think guys are getting more confident. We're shooting the ball better, yet the defense has stayed pretty consistent. We always felt like we could go to another level as a team if our shooting would all of a sudden kick in.
learn until wear
Just having to learn to play with the brace, that's probably the most cumbersome thing. He's going to have to wear it until mid-February.
bob sit sure talks
I'm sure Bob and I will sit down and have some talks soon. That's just something we haven't done yet.
allowed close execute far foul free miss missed stops stretch tense throws
We didn't execute a lot down the stretch as far as foul shots, and the more you miss the more tense you get. It was a combination of missed free throws and not getting stops down the stretch that allowed them to get as close as they did.
good guys handling job talk whether
We didn't even talk about whether (Strickland) was going to be in or not be in. I think the guys did a good job of handling that, because we know we've been on the other end.
difficult happy
We have a very difficult bracket, but we're happy being a No. 3 seed.
guard
We haven't been really pretty all year. When you guard like we've been able to guard, it's not too pretty.
played possession three tonight
We haven't played a box?and?one on any possession this year, and tonight we did it on three possessions.
lead people
To come in here and lead start-to-finish, there are not a lot of people doing that.
great immediate impact next talented team tyler
Tyler will have an immediate impact on our team next season. He is a very talented player, but also a great person, and that is something we always look for in recruiting.
ready
From all indications he'll be ready to go.
good point
From that point on, we really did a lot of good things.
coaches far good happened home national players time won
I don't think it's ever a good thing when coaches or players get booed from the home crowd, that's never something that is positive. As far as me getting cheers, that's happened for a long time there...that's my alma mater, that's where I played, I won a national championship there.
coaches good home players
I don't think it's ever a good thing when coaches or players get booed by their home crowd.
