forget four last
We need to forget about the last four games.
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.
coming guys
We've got a lot of guys coming back, but they've got to get better.
played shots
We played hard, but we couldn't make the big shots tonight.
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.
defended stopped
We just stopped competing. They made a run; they defended us real good.
anybody good mileage minutes next ok played replace team took
We should be OK next year, but we have to replace Hatcher; that's going to be the key. He took a team that wasn't very good and made them good. I never got so much mileage out of a guy. He probably played more minutes than anybody in the league.
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.
