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.
hard jeff minnesota particular stop
Jeff can get going. I don't think it was any particular thing that Minnesota didn't do or that we did. It was just hard for them to stop him, like it was hard for us to stop Vince.
good hard jeff players stop
When good players get going, they are hard to stop, and Jeff is a good player. He got going and it was hard for them to stop him just like it was hard for us to stop Vincent.

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.

We're going to have to continue that. We're going to have times when we don't score, we turn it over. And when that happens, the next possession we've got to do a very good job of getting the shot that we want.

We appreciate the hard work and efforts that Rich and Greg have extended on behalf of this program over the past seven years. With 46 wins in the last two seasons and six straight winning seasons, they have contributed to a lot of the successes we have enjoyed. In my long?term commitment toward the future, I wanted to move Brian to director of basketball operations and felt these moves were necessary for the continued progress of the program.

We know we're down to five games (in the regular season). We have to do our part ? we have to play well.
