good played playing start time
We probably played as well as we have to date. We're playing better, we're getting there, and it's a good time to start doing that.
defensive prepared
They're very defensive minded. They're going to be well prepared and very physical.
aggressive physical reason selected sticks upset
They have every reason to be upset about not being selected for an at-large bid. The thing that sticks out the most is how physical and aggressive they are.
basketball bid bitter eight good guys home hostile score seven since
They're a good basketball team. They have a very hostile home environment. They are very balanced. They have seven or eight guys who can score for them. They are probably a little bitter since they didn't get an at-large bid to the Tournament.
chance continue deep
They are pretty good. If they continue to play like that they have a chance to go deep into the (NCAA) tournament.
defensive game hurt pressure rhythm second start trying
I thought their defensive pressure hurt us. Especially at the start of the second half, they really got us out of rhythm offensively, what we were trying to do. And that was the game right there.
bottom extremely league strong
I think this league is extremely strong from bottom to top.
ask locker room
Go down to the official's locker room and ask those guys.
double frustrated good gotten guys job knocked open passing shots team
He's done a good job passing out of the double team. And, yeah, there have been a lot of guys on our team (who have) been open and not knocked shots down, but he hasn't gotten frustrated with it.
across clear country definitely finding half late sunday travel
For Virginia, finding out that they had to travel clear across the country on Sunday -- they definitely fatigued a little late in the first half and at the end of the game.
difference playing
How we've been playing as of late, I don't think it's going to make that big a difference anyway.
call execute
Call it being lucky, call it being good. You just have to execute down the stretch.
anytime changing experience impact lose player
Anytime you lose a player of Matt's caliber, it is going to impact what you do, but we're not changing anything. And it's nothing we haven't had experience at.
basketball far few games last lose lost players playing sight
The last few games I thought we've been playing better basketball. I didn't want our players to be down or lose sight of how far we've come just because they lost the other night.
