I thought our guys responded well. Every guy that came in made a major contribution. We had guys making big plays after big plays, and they were different games. That's been the character of this team all year.
I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
I think we still have a way to go. I want to get to the point where we're playing at the level we need to play at. Because very shortly it's going to come down to one game, one play and that's my focus. We need to be at the level where its one play and your season is over.
It had nothing to do with our shooting. It had something to do with our mind-set and our focus.
That we had improved from last year. The program is improving every year, and that was an indication that we had improved it. This year, we improved our status.
That's what I've always wanted. I wanted to get my master's because I wanted to be at this level. I've wanted to refine their skills, not necessarily teach them. It's like a dream come true. It's great.
We never 'made' a star, ... but we gave a lot of artists an opportunity for exposure. A singer has to do a lot of work in smoke-filled bars to be a good singer.
I was very surprised Fair Along was ever 25-1 because he's got some of the best form against the others. Anyway, we thought he had a squeak but obviously Detroit City was the more fancied of the two.
I was very pleased with his first game. He made his first 3, but I was more concerned with his effort sprinting back on defense. It's going to take some time for him.
I see both of them back. A large part will depend on how they do in the draft camp. If they have a chance to be drafted they should follow their dreams.
Our guys just believe that at some point, we're going to get you.
Our guys believe at some point during the game, we're going to get ya. Once we were able to get the game back within five and six, then our offense started to take over. We started to execute. We started to move the ball.
Our intensity was terrific. We forced them to play the style we wanted to play. They have been dictating their style of play against everyone.
Our intensity was terrific. I thought we forced them to have to play the way we wanted them to play. They had been able to dictate their style of play against everyone and we wanted to make sure that they had to play the way we wanted them to play.
