basketball compete fight guys money next powers returning team year
We don't make that decision. The NIT is money generated and if the NIT powers say we want you to play at home, we will. ... But if it was my decision, I would like to take this basketball team on the road. Because we compete well at home, but for the guys that are returning next year we've got to fight through on the road.
articulate danny game guys next talked
Chris, Matt, Danny - these guys have been through some wars. All we ever talked about was the next game and the next practice. This is a very bright, articulate group. There was never any sense of panic.
care choose credit good opposed situation taking terms win
You have to look at why those turnovers happened, and I choose to give credit to our opponent, as opposed to some of our deficiencies in terms of taking care of the ball. For us to have 23 turnovers and 13 assists, and still be in a situation where we can win that game, we were doing something good in other facets.

We're going into one of the more hostile environments we've seen all year. I'm impressed with Missouri State's team, with how physical they play.

Virginia found out on Sunday they had to travel all the way across the country. I think they got a little fatigued late in the first half and then late in the game.

None whatsoever. They are a completely different team that's playing extremely well.
care execute job lying mental mistake physical taking team toughness
I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't concerned. It's all mental and physical toughness when you go on the road. You've got to do a better job taking care of the ball. Every mistake you make magnifies. Rebounding and being able to execute offensively are huge, especially with a team like Arizona.
certain compete defend figuring guys playing team urgency
We're playing better. Certain guys are figuring out that you have to defend with a sense of urgency and you have to compete with a sense of urgency. It's a different team out there.
came courageous gave matt practice week
I thought Matt was very courageous today. He didn't practice all week and he didn't participate in shoot-around for more than 15 minutes, but he came in and gave us a lift.
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.
ball bit country cross finding looked played shared
I thought we played well offensively and defensively, and we shared the ball better than we have all season. Virginia, finding out they had to come cross country ? it looked like they had a bit of fatigue.
safe three win
I feel we have to win all three (games). That's a safe bet.
