I thought our veterans really led the way with a lot of toughness and a lot of heart. And certainly our crowd this evening really pulled us through tonight.

I thought our veterans led the way for us with a lot of toughness and heart.
bad excuse explain game happened incredible opportunity poor sure timing turning wish
It happened (against Minnesota), and it was an incredible turning point. It was also very deflating, but it's also part of the game and was bad timing for us. ? I'm not sure you can really explain it. We just did a poor job. There's no excuse or explanation. I wish we had an opportunity to do it over again.
ballgame both determine effort either great laid outcome possession teams
I would say one possession here or there was going to determine the outcome of this ballgame for either team. I thought both teams laid it on the line, put great effort out there to make things happen.
bottle calm good half minutes second talked yell
I talked to them in a calm manner. I didn't yell or scream. I said I was disappointed in the way they played. But the second 20 minutes was a really good half for us. Now we have to bottle that and play for 40 minutes.
college great renewed season teams
I think it's great for college basketball. It's great for teams and it's great for everyone at the end of the season to have renewed hope.
best chance home hopeful losing obviously opportunity playing prepared ready side sitting slide
Going there, obviously for them to probably have a chance to get off the losing slide there in the conference, the home opportunity ? the best opportunity if you're sitting in their seat, their side of the street. We're playing for a lot of things ourselves. I'm hopeful that we are able to be healthy, be ready and be prepared to go after it (tonight).
believe capable clicking cycle happen rhythm stay taking tough trying waiting
He's a rhythm guy, and I think he's out of rhythm. We're trying to see if we can get things back in sync, back clicking in the right cycle for him. It's been tough for him to get that back. ... It's waiting to happen for him. We're going to stay with him, we believe in him. He's our guy, he's my guy. I think he's capable of taking of taking us to a different level.
absolute competitor foot since stepped
He's been everything. He's been an absolute high-level competitor since the day he stepped foot on campus.
aggressive ball courtney formula goes less needs offensive terms
He's doing his part when he's being doubled. He just needs to be a little more aggressive off the ball in terms of when the ball goes up that he go get it and offensive rebound. Sometimes if you feel you're being doubled, you're less aggressive and that's not the formula we want from Courtney after the double-team.
allow hopefully opportunity week work
Hopefully this is a week that will allow us the opportunity to work on fundamentals.
