catch loss nice playing position teams win worry
I thought we were tentative at times. The teams we're playing have to catch us. It's a nice position to be in. We can't worry about what the significance of a win or loss is.
dream love player position team
That is what you dream of as a player and a coach. You love to be in that position and our team is in that position.
lighting plays scout team
This is something he's done in practice. He plays on the scout team and he's lighting us up.
huge hump team took
I thought he had a huge year. He took his team over the hump tonight. He put them on his back. He was phenomenal.
days played team
At times, we played like a team that had 11 days off.
ball certainly control defensive focused hard similar teams work wrong
His teams have focused more on ball control than on transition. They're going to work hard on the defensive end. They're very similar to his teams at Pitt, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.
dominant team
They've been the most dominant team in our league.
conference far game losing overtime perspective puts team
I don't think we should get penalized for losing an overtime game to (the conference champions). I think that game puts in perspective how far this team has come this season.
bounce challenge game mentality obviously team
Our team obviously is down after the game. I don't know how you can play that game and not be down. We have to come back. That's our challenge right now. We have to bounce back. We can't go back to this game. It's over. We have to have the same mentality we had during that stretch. That's going to be our challenge right now.
few given guys helped improved last performance question team
They've improved in that area. Those guys have given them their team a big lift, and there's no question that has helped their performance in the last few games.
achievement care conference great nail road shows team tough win
It's a great accomplishment. That shows how tough this conference is. For any team in a tough conference, when you can go and nail down a win on the road in your opener, that's a statement. I don't care where you are or who you're playing.
believing game surviving teams
Every game has been about surviving and believing in ourselves. That's what teams have to do.
anybody dominant particular showing stepping team teams
I don't see anybody stepping up as the dominant team, but I see no team showing any particular weakness. There will be a lot of teams scrambling at the end for the championship.
chemistry coaches goal people priority team
Young people do what they see. It has to be a priority from the coaches down to the players. Team chemistry comes from having the same goal and same agenda.
