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.
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.
ball view
I know Prairie View isn't a towering team, but we rebounded the ball much better.
along expected knew missing past piece playing since steady stepped
I knew he had the injury, but we expected him to be a little more productive. He's playing like we expected him to play all along now. He was a missing piece for a while, but he's been real steady since then. He's really stepped up big these past two games.
best goes happened happens player players step
That happens sometimes when a team's best player goes out. Other players step up and that's what happened tonight.
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.
loss tough
This was a tough loss for us. It's very disappointing.
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.
class excellent game good guards inside
They're the class of our league. They've got good balance. They've got an excellent inside game and their guards are very good, too.
best defense good perhaps
Our defense was real good tonight, perhaps as best as it's been all season.
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.
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.
depending few happens next shake ways
There's a lot of different ways it could shake out depending on what happens the next few days.
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.
