chance coming game gives guys improve last means national prestige seniors
It means a lot. We are able to get a little national prestige ... It gives our seniors a chance to improve on their last performance, and it gives our guys coming back one more game this year.
meant
That's Muhammad. I see what he meant now, because he always goes.
class last league seasons several success
They've been the class of the league the last several years with those 20-win seasons and the success that they've had.
close hungry looks seniors trying
The thing I'm trying to do is get him to close it out real good. You always want your seniors to want to play and still be hungry, and he looks like he's more hungry now than he's ever been.
great position ran
They ran a great play and we were out of position and couldn't get the rebound.
excuse liked playing practice tuesday
I would have liked to play Tuesday night; it won't be an excuse. When you're playing well, you want to play more and practice less.
chance players quick
We never had a chance tonight. I told our players that we didn't know how quick they were.
constant great teams
We have to play great defense. I think the constant with all teams is how well they can defend.
five handle match people starting top
We're a team, right now, that can't handle when people are out. I think our starting five would be pretty doggone good. I don't know if our top 10 or 11 would match up with other teams.
distract early guys
We told our guys early on that we're going to play or we ain't going to play. You can't let things like that distract you.
achievement close great second
This was a great accomplishment for the seniors, to go out with a win. They're second to Kent, and it's a close second.
buffalo confident crowd environment execute hostile players tough type
We need to be confident in a hostile environment. That Buffalo crowd can get to you, and we want our players to play with confidence. We need to execute our offense, and sometimes that's tough to do with the type of environment their crowd creates.
basically book deal easy good helps pass saying spells teammates
What it's basically saying is that most of us want to pass things on, but our accountability is very, very important. It's easy to read and spells out everything. I think it's a good book for sports, because it helps you deal with what can I do and what can I do to make my teammates better.
best defensive game hit open
We will have to play our best defensive game of the year, and we need to hit our open shots.
