arguing coaches difference holding last matter opposed players scores together
It's not just the coaches who are holding the players accountable. The players, we're holding each other accountable, too. That's a big difference as opposed to last year. We'd be arguing and there would be a lot of negativity. Who was getting the shots? Who was getting the minutes? Now, we're just together and it doesn't really matter who scores the points.

He just stepped up and made the big plays that really got us going.

I'm being more assertive. It's something I can do. I'm just recognizing my potential.

This just does it. We're in it. We're all excited, because we feel like we're in the NCAA Tournament.

I truly feel like we have done enough to get in the tournament.

I never played with a brace on, and it was very irritating. I couldn't move with it on.

I think that's the biggest challenge because we definitely thought we were in the NCAA Tournament. Guys really don't want to be in the NIT, but it's something to build on for next year.
direction step took
We took a step in the right direction.
attack main patient
We just have to be patient and attack the gaps. The main thing is to get what we want.

To play this hard and this well and still not win, that's tough to take. We'll try to learn from this and get better.
looking team type
We're looking to go on a run. We feel like we have the type of team that can get on a roll.
court great kinda love rush seconds
We've got great fans, I didn't know they would rush the court with 1.7 seconds left. That was kinda crazy! But I love our fans.
attacking instead jump pulled settled soon
We settled for a lot of jump shots. As soon as we got an opening, got a little daylight, we settled for jump shots. We pulled up instead of attacking the paint.
