good knew ncaa played players presented school team today
We played very well today and we knew we'd have to. We presented this to our players as a school with NCAA tradition, and we told them that this was a good team that was very athletic.
ball good pace pushing shot substitute
There's no substitute for good shooting, particularly 3-pointers. We were working the ball and pushing the pace to get good shot attempts. And we made them.
anybody attitude deep talented
There's no happy-to-be-there attitude about this at all. We're going into this to win. I think we're talented enough and deep enough to play with anybody in the country.
game good half job run
We've done a pretty good job of getting the first run of the game and of the first half this year.
giving inside needed points willing
He's a force. We were willing to give up some inside points as long as we were not giving up 3-pointers. We did all that we needed to do to win.
tough veteran
It's a pretty tough bracket. We have a veteran team. We'll be fine.
conference controlled deep outright washington winning
We didn't want to be co-champs. Deep down, you want your first conference championship to be an outright championship. We controlled that by winning and Washington losing.
cushion lost
We don't have the cushion any more. We had it ... then we lost it.
aspect bigger college game historic programs
This is a bigger game than most because of the historic and traditional aspect of their program. They are one of the storied programs of college basketball.
game plays position
I thought we had the game in control. We were in position to make plays and we didn't make plays.
biggest ranks win
If it's not the biggest win for us, it ranks right up with the biggest.
biggest carry game plan prepare school win winning
If this wasn't the biggest win in school history, it's right up there with any of them. It was fantastic. To prepare to win, carry out the game plan to perfection, and actually win the game, it was like winning a championship.
basketball brought competition guy high
He was the guy who put us over the top. He brought us the combination of size, talent, competitiveness and a very high basketball IQ.
biggest certainly
If it's not the biggest (win for me), it's certainly right there with the biggest.
