basketball heck ready team
We know they're a heck of a basketball team that will be ready to play us.
basketball best conference deserve five ncaa obviously sixth talk teams whether
We are probably a mid-major conference in most of our other sports, but in men's basketball we are obviously a high-major conference. It's the sixth best conference in the country, and there should be talk of five teams going into the NCAA Tournament. Whether we get that or not, we deserve the attention.
deserved happened team
This team deserved something like this after what happened on (Selection) Sunday.
building coach following games guaranteed home honor next respect season team
We would even give up one of our guaranteed home games next season and go to Maryland. To have an ACC team in our building the following season, and the respect I have for Coach Williams, it would be an honor for our league.

fed
We just couldn't make shots. It was like we fed the piranhas. We couldn't do that.

We always talk about equal selection and how it's fair to all the conferences and schools. Well, (the selection committee has) a chance to prove it.
against occasions save special
We save it for special occasions against Drake.
caused defense miss second shots
I'd like to say I thought their defense was good, but it's not what caused us to miss shots in the second half.
