blame couple free guy lay slow three
His guy got free a couple times. He had three turnovers in the first 10 minutes. I don't want to lay blame on any one person. He got off to a slow start.
beat coach concept dumb impressed kids matter position puts talent
I'm very impressed with coach Baron. I've always been impressed with his concept of the game. He puts his kids in a position to win, no matter their talent or their depth. That's what they've done this year. They don't make dumb mistakes. If you beat them, you're going to have to play well.
anywhere challenge course excited fact freshman guys incredible kids knew matters poised prayed season special surprised
I'm not surprised by the way these kids are. When I recruited them I knew that these were special kids. I just prayed that we could get them to commit. And how excited I am that we're going to have them for more years. The fact that they're poised when it matters ... over the course of the season those two guys have done incredible things. When you look at them as a pair, I challenge you to find a freshman combination anywhere that's doing the things they're doing.
concerned hurting
I'm concerned with Ian's turnovers. Those are hurting us a little.
drafted gets hurt matter period replace short
If Ian gets drafted, that's going to hurt us, there's no way around it. What can I say? I don't think even if we find out he gets drafted in June, we can find someone to replace him in that short period of time, no matter where in the world we look.
beyond came certainly coached guard job light lived maybe remarkable
I certainly haven't coached a better guard tandem. They've done a remarkable job this year, especially in light of the expectations that were on them when they came in. They've certainly lived up to those, and maybe beyond it.
media ready
I could tell right away before the first media timeout that we were ready to defend.
beat biggest fallen harder seem since time win
I do think it was the biggest win of the year. At the time we beat Xavier, I thought that was the biggest win, but since they have kind of fallen on harder times, it doesn't seem as big.
ability both confident everybody impact kids knew
I don't think everybody thought they would have the impact they did. I knew both kids were confident in their ability and I knew they were talented.
came last left ready summer
I told Ian when he left last summer that he had to come back ready to be the centerpiece of our offense. He not only wanted it, but he came back here to do it.
move rough stretch
It's an unfortunate way to end the season. We had a rough 10-day stretch here to end it. But such is life. We move on from here.
game huge matter program slice step turn
It's a huge win, no matter how you slice it. This game doesn't turn our program around, but it's a step in the right direction.
coaches discussion point together
That has to be the No. 1 point of discussion when the A-10 coaches get together after the season.
challenged competition good great kevin log player playing
They just have to log minutes. As good a player as Tommie is, as good a player as Kevin is, they just need more minutes. They need to keep playing and they need to keep being challenged with great competition and they'll get their mouthful on Friday.
