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.
great guys last models prouder role standard
I couldn't be prouder of the guys that participated the last two years. They set a great standard for our program. They're great role models and great kids.
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.
anyone bigger concern definitely handle last match team year
Last year we could handle bigger teams. This year that's definitely a concern of mine. We had a team that could match up with anyone last year. We don't have a team like that this year.
air almost bubble cincinnati deserved east eight ended five force four gotten itself kicked last pick state supposed syracuse teams three utah west winning won
I thought they were supposed to pick teams, not conferences. Last year, the Big West got two (berths) because we deserved to go and Utah State won the tournament. This year, they were almost over fair. Utah State and Air Force had to be bubble teams, and if you have four or five bubble teams, you pick two and two or three don't get in. Cincinnati should have gotten in, but Syracuse ended up winning the (Big East) tournament. The Big East still got eight teams in. Cincinnati kicked itself out.
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.
davis played playing
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.
deserved game win year
I thought this was the first game all year we deserved to win and didn't.
call college
I don't want to get fined or anything, but it's a call you don't see much in college basketball.
