believe lose perfect scenario
The perfect scenario would be for Asheville to lose, Radford to lose and I believe we host.
bit either jump
He couldn't jump either and he did all right for himself. Fann kind of has a little bit of that game.
anticipate great hard itself knows players position puts rebounds step team tournament win
I anticipate a hard game. We know what Radford does. Radford knows what we do. The team that rebounds is going to be the team that puts itself in a great position to win. And in tournament play, you've got to have players step up and make shots. If you don't have players make shots, it's hard to win in tournament play.
eagle fans love record respond turn
It's exciting. Hopefully, our fans will respond to it and come out in record numbers. I'd love to see 1,000 fans here for the game. It's very doable. I'll be disappointed if the Eagle fans don't turn out in record numbers.
beginning bit categorize good moving return saying season squad success
I would categorize the season as a success in many ways. We're saying it's only the beginning. Hopefully, we'll return a good bit of our squad and keep moving forward.
focus intensity
It's not the same team. Our intensity is different. Our focus is different.
certainly defended defensive either game happy shot sure team
If you wanted a defensive game and that's what you like, that's what you got tonight. I'm not sure that either team is really happy with the way they shot tonight, but I certainly like the way we defended tonight.
ball difference free game hold might percent rebound stretch team throws turned
I thought we had a chance. You hold a team to 36 percent shooting, you rebound with them, you get more free throws ... the difference in the game might be the stretch where we turned the ball over.
build felt last maybe observers south start thrilled tradition year
We're thrilled to get some recognition. Last year, my first year here, I felt like we were observers to the Big South Conference. This year we are participants and we've got some things to build on in the future. Maybe start a little tradition here.
bit bring credit crown favor final game good half home job liberty minutes opening opportunity physical protecting road six steal today trying
When you go on the road and you're trying to steal the crown away from the champion, you can't bring your C-plus game and today we were a bit off our game. You have to credit Liberty with being physical and doing a good job at protecting its home court. We had an opportunity to get the game in our favor over the final six minutes of the first half and opening six of the second, but we couldn't take advantage.
basket bit clicked few finally half line past played second seemed tonight
We finally clicked a little bit in the second half today. Defensively we played the three-point line well in the second and we finally made some baskets. It seemed as if the lid was on the basket in the past few games, but tonight we were able to get them to fall.
encouraged flames forward hard
We're disappointed in the loss. But we're encouraged by how hard we battled and look forward to the when the Flames come to the coliseum.
bit couple maybe momentum moving wins
We're not going to quit. We're going to keep moving ahead, try to salvage another couple of wins here and maybe get a little bit of momentum going.
good happy kids missed played
We're just happy to still be alive. We'll keep playing. Defensively, we were pretty good (Tuesday). Offensively, we were just as good, but we missed a lot of little shots. But the kids played really well.
