blown deal feelings hard helped might proportion
That kind of got blown out of proportion how that went down. There's no hard feelings about that deal at all, but I think in a way it might have helped us.
brought fans grown hard joy saw
They brought so much joy through the season. Our fans saw how much they had grown and how hard they tried.
five guard hard stretch team
They're very hard to guard because they can stretch it from all five spots. They're not a conventional team at all.
anybody attention ball detail game hard looked offense pay possession ran slow stuff understanding
He's a ball mover. It's not that our offense has been so slow ... we ran the same stuff when he was in the game and looked pretty good. Moving, cutting, being sharp, understanding how hard you've got to play, tighten every possession up, pay attention to detail ... he does that as well as anybody we have, if not better.
attacked ball ended fault felt great hard head plenty taking time worked
I felt we should have attacked the basket. It worked out perfect. We got the ball to Keith. He had plenty of time and a head of steam. We ended up taking a hard shot. It would have been great had it went in. It was on line. I won't fault him on a last-second shot. He's made plenty of them.
beat believe conference confidence good great hard help magnitude national performance saturday winning
A good performance on Saturday would be a great springboard for our kids' confidence going into conference play. You can get confidence from winning games, but you still have to go out and beat someone of national magnitude to really believe that it's going to help you win a hard game.
base certainly good guard guys hard
He's hard to guard because he's unorthodox. He doesn't have a good base yet. Guys can certainly dislodge him from certain positions.
five guys hard looks open played shoot
I don't think they got many open looks at the basket. But, even when you shoot bad, you're going to make five of them. But, I thought we really played hard out there. Some of the guys didn't play well, but they played hard.
breathe iowa lead state talented teams
Once we got our lead back up to nine, we could breathe a little easier. Iowa State is one of the most talented teams we've played.
sweeter
From my standpoint, this was sweeter than any of the other ones that I have had, because we started 1-2.
creative freedom
You don't want to take away his freedom to make creative plays.
excited focused fun missouri
They're an immature, fun and focused group. They don't get excited on the road. Even in the Missouri game, they weren't rattled.
leagues lit means parity people
I look around the county, and I see a lit of leagues like ours. With parity a lot of people think that means mediocrity.
convinced hated
I hated to see this happen. I'm not convinced he made the right decision.
