tough win
Yeah, it's tough to win on the road.
against conference win wins
This is a big win for us. Because we haven't had any big wins in the conference against the top-tier teams.
help hurts lack success win
I think the lack of success hurts in a lot of ways. Somehow, you have to win and see if that can help (the program) ? I don't know if 'snowball' (is the right word) ? but incrementally get better.
effort guys hung tough
I thought the guys hung in there in a tough situation. Don't get me wrong; I'm not happy. But I thought the effort was pretty good.
controlled
I thought they controlled us from just about the start. They got pretty much what they wanted on offense.
guys seemed worn
Our guys were worn out. It just seemed they were a little fresher than we were.
active guy
Sterling was very active today. You need a guy like that, especially with Mohamed not in there.
inside rely
When you don't have an inside presence, you have to rely on your (outside) shooting, and we just weren't able to do it.
defense inept second sort
We were sort of inept (in the second half) and their defense had something to do with it. That was the game.
expected guys hung played ready tough
I expected him to be here and be ready to play. It just didn't happen. I thought our guys played hard. I thought our guys hung in there during a tough situation.
ball best good guy quick
He's persistent. He doesn't get discouraged. He's a quick jumper to basket, a good shooter. I think he's the best low-post guy in the league. You have to keep the ball from him.
ball bit extremely focused home past shoot won
If they had won (against Minnesota), there's a possibility they could look past you. But still, when they're at home they shoot the ball extremely well, which they did not do (against Minnesota). Certainly, they'll probably be a bit more focused because of that loss.
body language
I didn't like his body language out there.
fragile
But we will be a little more fragile this time.
