both building face good guys inside offensive players southern team
Let's face it, both of those guys inside are good players. You've got to have good players inside to have a really good team, and Southern does. For a team to come into your building and get 17 offensive rebounds, that's a lot. That's unacceptable.
basketball double figures four good guys nine players three
We would like to have three or four players in double figures. Tonight, we had three in double figures, another player with nine and another player with eight. So we're getting there. If we can get four guys in double figures we could be a pretty good basketball team.
emotional guys leaving
It's going to be emotional I'm sure. Those guys are like family, and now they're going to be leaving the house.
guys importance understand urgency
I think our guys understand the importance of this trip. We need to play with urgency and play with a purpose.
afford against battling easy expect free game good guys late missed normally proud quality shot shots southern team winning
I'm real proud of these guys for battling the way they did tonight. We had a good shot of winning the game there late in the game. But we missed some easy shots that we normally make. And we missed some free throws. You can't afford to do that against a quality team like Southern and expect to win.
defensive five last minutes run stops
We got some defensive stops those last five minutes when they were making their run that were very important.
best defense good perhaps
Our defense was real good tonight, perhaps as best as it's been all season.
complete question southern team
There's no question about it, Southern should be the favorite. They've got the most complete team in our conference.
game hope hungry learn lost perhaps win
We really lost the game in the first half. We were perhaps still celebrating from our win the other night. I don't know if we were hungry enough. We play better when we're hungry. I hope we can learn something from this game. It could be a wake-up call.
came game gone helped plays tonight win
We don't give out a game ball, but if I had tonight it probably would've gone to Hilton. I thought he was outstanding. He came in and made some big plays that helped us win the game.
ball free game huge throws tough turn
That was a tough one, real tough. We had some costly turnovers at the end. I thought we pretty much had the game in hand. But they got those two free throws and then we turn the ball over. Those were huge plays.
came played second
That was the key. I thought we could put them away at the point. We came out and played really well in the second half.
good helped hung jump run stretch together
That was a good stretch for us. I thought we hung in and hung in, and then we were able to put together a run there that helped us jump out to a lead.
ball best defended games good minute shot trying tune
That was one of his best games as a Tiger. He defended really well, he shot the ball well and he made good decisions. I thought he was in tune with what we were trying to do every minute he was on the floor.
