decided games last lost played playing step win
Last year, we played 12 games that were decided in the last 90 seconds, and we lost 11 of 12. If we win a game when we're not playing well, it's a step in the right direction.
average beat bottom complete continue either figure free good line missed played remain
The bottom line is, we didn't make shots. It's just disappointing that we played as well as we did defensively, and yet it's a 10-point loss. And we missed free throws. It's just not good enough if you want to beat good teams. You've got to play complete basketball, not just defend, not just rebound, it's got to be complete. We're either going to get it or we're going to continue to be a .500 team. We're either going to figure it out or remain an average program.
against bit concerned games greek looked national night played season second volume year
He played essentially a second season with the Greek national team. I'm a little concerned about that, because (Wednesday night against Rhode Island), he looked a little bit tired. I've been concerned all year with the volume of games he's played and that it could become a problem.
against basketball free glass good high junior mattered observer outside people played road shot sound sure team throw tough turned
This will sound a little strange, but we did not play good basketball tonight. I'm sure that the outside observer will say they really played tough against a top-ranked team on the road and blah, blah, blah. We turned it over 20 times. We were not able to keep people off the glass when it mattered most. And we shot like a junior high team from the free throw line.
bit earned impressed luke midst played position searching
I'm searching a little bit for answers. I think Luke has earned the spot. I was very impressed with the way he played in the midst of a gut-wrenching game. I thought he played really hard, I thought he played steady, solid. He didn't just get that position by default. He got it because he's played well.
couple goes win
It goes without saying, you have to win. You have to win more than one of them. You have to win a couple of them.
hole seems
It always seems to be the hole in the dike.
clearly good shooting
We clearly can not be described as a good shooting team. I think that's obvious.
continue dominant effort himself post team teammates
That was a team effort to make him more forceful. His teammates had to play a part in that, to continue to look into the post every time. To Ian's credit, he re-established himself as a dominant center. He was too much for them to handle.
feels four three win
It feels good. Not just to win three in a row, but to win four out of five.
guys life
It doesn't have a life of its own. You guys can write about it. But it's been weird.
behind defensive games good putting quality
We're not putting this one behind us. I'm not so into the standings and all of that. I'm into the quality of play, and for two games in a row, our defensive quality of play was not good enough.
designed great player
Tommie didn't get a great shot. There's a great player that made a great play. It wasn't a great designed play. He just made it work.
became fan fun
Wow. From my vantage point, that was fun to watch. I became a fan there for a while. He was really spectacular.
