gone great none played teams
There have been a lot of great teams who have played on this floor. None have gone undefeated.

There's obviously a work ethic that goes into it. (Brunner) is a very special big man who has played here.

We haven't played a box?and?one on any possession this year, and tonight we did it on three possessions.
difficult games hard homes league losing played regardless risk road run shots top win
It's very difficult to win road games, but it's hard to win homes games (too). If, all of a sudden, you don't play well -- a game where you don't make shots or where you're not on top of your game defensively -- you really run the risk of losing regardless of where the game is being played ... This league is very demanding, very difficult.
beyond far gone great group legacy none played special teams
A lot of great teams have played on this floor, but none has gone undefeated. This is a very special group of seniors. Their legacy will go far beyond this year.
bench deep games played three wear
They played three games in three days. That's not easy. They don't have a real deep bench right now. We just wanted to wear on them.
best either guarded hard jeff minutes played plus secret stop
Jeff played all 40 minutes plus guarded their best player. He got going, and it was hard for them to stop him just like it was hard for us to stop Vincent. I don't think there was any kind of secret on either side.
best defense good guys played
Our guys were just so much more active. We have played awfully good defense all year, but this may have been our best 40-minute effort.
against continued drake heal played robert sure
There was a possibility that he could have played against Drake and Robert Morris, but we wanted to make sure he continued to heal properly.
center dominated favor position
We just got dominated on the glass. I thought the center position was really in favor of them.
faith jeff might putting warm
We might play him 5 or 6 minutes, then take him out. Yet Jeff might say that makes it tight, and it's better if he can keep it warm and go. We're putting our faith in him to let us know. . .
aspects financial
We try to take the financial aspects out of the injury,

We expected to see zone today - we hadn't seen zone in two weeks.

We are two minutes after the game. My whole focus and energy haven't changed. I put everything into this.
