andre chance chances given gotten missed nice pass rebound stretch win
We executed really well down the stretch to have a chance. It would've been nice if Andre could have missed that and given me a chance to win the game, but you never know. You don't know if we'd have gotten the rebound or been able to get the pass out. We had other chances to win.

Everything fell into place. This was a confidence-builder, but there is still a sense of urgency. I don't know where we'd be if we had lost this game, but this is my last year and I don't want to play in the NIT. We've got to play like this the rest of the way.

We've played with all the top teams in the league. We just have to cut down on the mental mistakes at the end of the game and not let them be a factor.
playing shows surprised took
The only thing that surprised me was that it took so long to come back. That shows how well they were playing. We were playing great, and they never folded. We had to take it from them.

We've got to fight now. There's nothing else to it but to fight.
We've just got to learn. That's all we can do.

We keep saying every game is crucial. We've lost some games at home. Losing at home is not an option now.
