ball capable confident continued good period shooting
We're confident that we're capable of shooting the ball real well. We went through a period where we were pressing, we weren't getting good looks. To the guys' credit, they continued to work.
best blew buy buying discovery excited found greatest habit heard history people records song songs
People didn't buy these records because they wanted a history lesson. One of the best experiences I ever had was buying Del Shannon's greatest hits. I had only heard the song 'Runaway' because of the 'American Graffiti' soundtrack. I thought he was just a one-hit guy. Then I found 20 other songs that excited me and blew me away. That habit of discovery is what Rhino is about.
asking bad
Do something really bad the first time, and no one will ever think of asking you again.
good team
We're not a very good team right now, offensively.
bit decisions longer seeing took
Now you're seeing their decisions are instinctive decisions. It took us a little bit longer to get some continuity.
available changed climate happened last means rules talent
What happened climate has changed in last 10 years; the rules have changed and the 15 scholarships (schools used to have available for dispersal ) down to 13. That means there's a lot of talent that's being dispersed around country. There really is more parity.
counter eighth extremely kept middle ninth proud punches ring standing taking throwing
We kept standing in the middle of the ring taking punches and by the eighth or ninth round, we were still standing. We started throwing counter punches. I am extremely proud of the way we competed.
certain playing progress seeing
We're not playing well as a team. But individually we're seeing progress in certain individuals.
ncaa schools surprised teams tradition
Tradition doesn't come into play in the NCAA Tournament. I would not say I'm surprised (big schools get upset) and (mid-major) teams are able to play this well.
open wide
We had some wide open looks. We're just not able to take advantage.
aggressive biggest improvement
The biggest improvement was on defensive. We shored up our assignments and we were a lot more aggressive tonight.
finish position work
It was disappointing we didn't finish it in regulation. We're disappointed. We were in a position to be successful. It just didn't work out for us.
british hurts invasion pretend
It hurts me not to have them. We can't pretend it doesn't matter. It's like a British Invasion set without the Beatles.
except figured finish lost miss morning otherwise plug spark time top
We are really, really pleased. We figured a top 10 would be great. We lost time with that spark plug at 3 o'clock in the morning when we lost 50 minutes, but otherwise we are really pleased. Except for that one thing, we didn't miss a beat. We wanted to finish in the top 10 in class, but 11th is still great.
