basketball days five four good half playing
We were playing very good basketball four or five days ago, even in the first half of the Hartford game. We just have to get back to doing the things we do.
cut good surprised won work
I'm a little surprised Howard won that game. Mercer has some very good players, a big frontcourt, and a very good 3-point shooter, so we have our work cut out for us again.
belongs certainly christmas defense felt focusing good helped phil played shooting since tonight
I felt like since Christmas we've played very good offensively, shooting about 50 percent, and we've been focusing on getting our defense back to where it belongs and having Phil back tonight certainly helped give us good balance.
capable chance clearly conference contend extremely favorites good hot looking played start teams whatever
For whatever reason, they haven't played as well as they did at the start of the year. In December, I thought they were clearly one of the favorites in the league, and that hasn't changed. They're an extremely talented, capable opponent, and one of those teams that is looking to get hot and have as good a chance as any to contend in the conference championship.
came credit defense effort focus good guys huge last level playing
I give our guys a lot of credit for playing to this level after the last game. We came in with a huge focus on defense and rebounding, and we had a good effort there.
deep good great handle hurts kinds knew particular reasons team
I think that's one of the reasons they're as good as they are is they have great depth. Sure, it hurts them not having him out there, but we knew they were a team in particular that was deep enough to handle those kinds of problems.
blow came forget good huge margin people team telling week
We don't have a huge margin for error. We'd been doing good things because we were progressing, but I'd been telling them all week not to forget where they came from. This is not a team that's going to go blow people out.
afraid anyone good leader pride reason takes vocal
I think the reason he's such a good leader is because he does both. He's not afraid to be vocal with anyone on the team. He takes a lot of pride in not just showing, but speaking, too.
awesome effort great half shooting start strength
They just had an awesome shooting effort in the first half tonight. They got off to a great start shooting the ball, especially from 3-point range, which has not been their strength most of this season.
defensive offensive several tremendous
Not just from an offensive standpoint, but from a defensive standpoint, we got tremendous contributions from several players.
blowing ended score stretch
They were really able to get on a spurt and score in bunches. They made a lot of shots, and that stretch just ended up blowing it up pretty quick.
depth eight five guys six
We just don't have the depth that they have. They have eight guys and five need to play well. We have six guys and all six need to play well.
huge question
There's no question Ernest was huge for us during that stretch.
chance consistent fill guy holes talking
I've been talking to him a lot about doing this on a consistent basis. He is a guy who has a chance to fill some of these holes for us.
