deserved game win year
I thought this was the first game all year we deserved to win and didn't.
basketball chance game great guys handled last minutes ncaa perfect played three tournament
Our guys played perfect basketball over the last three minutes. The first game of a tournament is a little tougher, but we handled it. We got through it, and now we know we need to play a great 40 minutes for a chance to go to the NCAA Tournament.
coached credit game half hit percent second shots team tough
They hit a lot of tough shots. You've got to give them credit for making the shots they had to. I don't know if I've ever coached a game where a team shot 70 percent in the second half and we still won.
early fast game last league tail win work
I think they will be good, I just don't know how fast they'll be good. I don't know if early we'll be as good. I don't like to say we're not going to be as good. We'll be what we are. We'll work our tail off and try to win every game and see what happens. I didn't think we'd be 18-0 in league last year, either.
game hit lose rather shot win wish
He just hit one of those shots. You wish when you hit a shot like that you win a game rather than lose a game.
brought deserved few game great slip toughness year
I thought this was the first game all year that I thought we deserved to win. I thought we did a great job. I think we brought our toughness to the table, and we just had a few things slip through our fingers.
foul good hope kinds until
I won't know if it was a foul until I see it. I hope it was a good foul and not one of those other kinds of fouls.
ourselves position proud
I'm proud of our guys. We've put ourselves in a position to do what we want to do.

I'm going to tell Anthony he's playing Davis every night. He played very well.
forget great program taken
I'll have nothing but great memories. They're awesome, and they've had a great run. They've taken our program to a new level, and we'll never forget them.
active christian focused great player
I thought Christian was really a great player tonight. He was real aggressive, real active and real focused on what he had to do.
move tough
There were other things, too - things we didn't do as well as we would like - but that's the way it is. It was a tough call, but you've got to live with it and move on.
everywhere guys happens hungry people proud prove rest taken team whatever
Our guys are hungry to prove people wrong. This team has taken a lot of flak. Everywhere you turn, people are questioning how well this team can come around. I just said, 'Give it time. Give it time.' Well, here we are, and whatever happens the rest of the year, I'm going to be proud of this team.
call college
I don't want to get fined or anything, but it's a call you don't see much in college basketball.
