backwards good harder played smarter step took whipping
We got a good whipping tonight. They played harder than us. They played much, much, much smarter than us. Give them all the credit. We took a step backwards tonight.
carries confidence guys physical trying
We just keep trying hard. We're not an imposing, physical team, but we do play very well together, and that's what carries us through. Our guys have a lot of confidence in our man-to-man defense.
bad contested couple defense good great job mostly shooting sleep
We went to sleep a couple of times on perimeter defense, but mostly we contested their shots. They just did a good job of shooting the ball. It wasn't bad defense just great offense.
mental
We just made so many mental mistakes, and that's embarrassing to me. And that is my fault.
bad both credit deal either great hard offense played teams
We were really bad on offense, but we have to credit their defense. Both teams played hard enough to win. There wasn't a great deal of offense on either side.
chance meant program talking
We wouldn't be talking about having a chance to play in the postseason. And the development of this program wouldn't be where it is now. He's meant everything to us.
deal enjoyed experience motivated motivates motivating reflect time
Now we have time to reflect back. How motivating is this experience? Will it make you motivated or will it make you complacent? If you're complacent, then we'll be right back where we were. If the deal is you enjoyed the experience so much it motivates you, then the sky's the limit.
cover defensive finished foul free missed shot throw
One defensive play, one foul or one turnover, one shot that's not finished or one missed free throw is magnified because we don't have an Antoine Wright to cover up mistakes.
best coach definitely guys highest jeff missouri quite recruit style teams
The style of play with Missouri will be quite different. Coach Huggins will definitely recruit at the very highest level, and his teams always play with unbelievable intensity. And Jeff is one of the best young guys in the country.
capability dominate games great nba potential rush shown time totally
Rush is a pro. He's not only an NBA player, but a potential NBA all-star, in my opinion, with time and maturity. He's a great player. He's shown the capability to just totally dominate games at this level.
attention bounce glad goes guess guy happened happy people wish
People thought P.J. didn't play all that well at our place, but he's where all your attention always goes (defensively). I wish it was not at our expense, but I'm really happy to see a guy bounce back after what happened at the end of that game. I guess I'm not that happy. But I was glad for him.
arena based conference people stuff talking teams today watched
Our conference isn't getting enough respect. There are too many people out there talking that haven't watched our teams play. They weren't in this arena today and they weren't in a lot of different arenas, they just make assumptions based on stuff that's not factual.
amount both brought energy fought game guys hard involved last lucky minutes seen
I've never been involved in a game where every person brought that amount of energy to the floor. I've never seen it where guys fought for so hard for 40 minutes on both sides. We just got lucky and made the last shot.
team toughest
They're the toughest team ... toughest team I've ever seen. Not close, and I've been around some tough teams. Really tough. Really tough.
