basketball bit chris few game hang heads looked minutes remember took
I think everyone started to hang their heads a little bit when Chris went out of the game. It looked pretty bad. I think it took a few minutes to remember we had a basketball game to win.
adversity coming face game good guys job rest together
With all the adversity we've faced, I told them before the game that you guys have always done a good job of coming together in the face of adversity. That is something we're going to have to do, not just tonight, but the rest of the season.
chance city days fact felt few game guilty guys katrina last left
Just the fact that all of those guys had a chance to be here for a few days and get around the city and see some of the devastation that Katrina left made them feel a little guilty. I think the guys felt a little guilty after the last game that they had to come in and give a better effort.
games gives good guys shows team win
I think it's a good thing for our team right now. If we can win games without Chris, I think it gives these guys even more confidence. And it also shows when he comes back that we'll even be better.
confidence dead finding game ways
We keep finding ways to win. Our confidence is sky-high. You think we're dead in a game and we find a way to win.
acted came game gets league light quarter rarely switch third turn walking
We came out in the third quarter and acted like we were walking in the park. Then as the game gets tight, we try to turn that light switch back on. Very rarely in this league are you going to be able to do that.
certain confident game guys sure
We're still not confident in what we're doing from game to game. I'm still not sure what I'm going to get from everybody. There's certain guys that I know what I'm going to get, but there's too many guys that I don't.
forget game sudden throw
I don't think you can just throw this out and forget it. I think you have to see why a game like this happened, see why all of a sudden we go from 59-49 and then for more than 10 minutes, we don't score.
bring cheer fans game happiness hopefully uplifting
Hopefully this is something that will be uplifting and bring happiness to the fans that come to the game and cheer us on.

He was motivated. He was coming home, he had about 500 people coming to see him today, so he wanted to win the game and play well. We were able to accomplish both.
care closer continue games goes took
We took care of tonight. That was the first phase. Now we have to get these games on the road. Each day that goes by we continue to get closer to our goal.
ball game knack natural putting small teach worth
He can score. He has a knack for putting the ball in the basket. He's a natural small forward. All the little things that we have to teach him to play the game at 20 years old is going to take him a little time. But I think he's worth it.
game hopefully near playing somewhere
He just had a game of his life. Hopefully he can keep playing like that or somewhere near like that.
game hard knew playing
He was well-adjusted in October. He's just having fun. He's playing hard and he knew this was a game that we had to win.
