couple exploited front game happened key looked mistakes played
I thought they just made a couple of key mistakes in front of their own goal. It looked like a little miscommunication between their sweeper and their goalie sometimes, and we exploited that. The game wasn't played all that pretty. We just happened to score.
bench games players preference sat whether
I sat the bench (with the Kings) for I don't know how many games. It is just a coach's preference whether or not they are going to play players or not.
best game seen time
That clearly, by far, was the best game of his career. We've seen him do this in practice, but this was the first time he's got it done consistently in a game.
games improve obviously ourselves playing understanding
We've obviously got to play some games without him. So we're proceeding as if we're playing without him and getting ourselves prepared, with the understanding that if he comes back, he's only going to improve our situation.
bail blocking chance game last line nice quality rely shots
Blocking shots is the last line of defense, you don't want to rely on it. It's nice that he can bail you out, but you don't want to rely on it because it doesn't give him a chance to play the quality game that he can.
flat game good lead played
We went flat and started coasting after the 7-1 lead after two innings. But I thought we played pretty good for the first game of the season.
game obvious virginia
Right from the start, it was obvious that Virginia wanted the game. I just think Virginia wanted the game more than we did.
basketball care continues energy eventually game match minutes played size start strength win
Duquesne played with a lot of energy and hustle. We didn't match that energy in the first half. But the game is 40 minutes long. I thought our size and strength eventually would take care of that. If Duquesne continues to play like that they'll start to win some basketball games. They've got a feel of how they want to play.
asking basketball careers extremely fortunate games happy hope paycheck portion win
They've been very fortunate to win a lot of basketball games here. I'm just extremely happy for them. They'll probably be asking me for a portion of my paycheck after their careers are over. I hope y'all acknowledge that I said 'after their careers are over,' so we don't have any problems.
ended game needed
They did what they had to do. We accomplished what we needed to do, and that's why the game ended up as it did.
coming focus game happy result
I was really happy with focus we had coming in. Obviously, the result is nice, but I think it's a byproduct of that focus. We wanted this game bad.
continued couple created difference game half needed played second separation
In the first half we did the things we needed but the game has to be played for 40 minutes. That separation they created in the second half was the difference in the ballgame. We made a couple of mistakes. I didn't think they did anything differently, they just continued to do what they wanted to do.
game
Hopefully, it's not over yet. Right now, it's just another game in a tournament.
game raised
He raised his game to another level. It was a big game and he responded.
