automatic bid great ncaa shot tournament win
I think we've got a great shot to get an at-large bid if we win one more, but I really think we need to get by Ozarks on Friday. But the only way you're going to feel comfortable about making the NCAA tournament is by getting that automatic bid.
ability chance confident continue enjoying excited fun highlight moment players playing pressure program putting relax season talked time
I feel real confident about our ability to continue to win. It's a fun time of year. You're excited to be playing and I've talked to the players about enjoying the moment and not putting too much pressure on themselves. They need to just relax and have fun. This is the highlight of the season for the program and they have a chance to do something special.
coaching game last love ncaa step team took tournament weeks won
This team had to go through so much the last two weeks with the injuries, and then they won their first-ever NCAA tournament game Friday. I love coaching this team so much, it just wasn't our night. But we took another step this year.
control couple game last talked weeks
We didn't control the game. The last couple of weeks we talked about that a lot. You have to control the game in the postseason and play smart. It's frustrating because we just didn't play very well tonight.
excited extremely focus happened help last
We're extremely excited to still be playing, but we're not going to focus on what happened last year. It's something you can't help but think about, but it's not something you focus on as a coach. These are two completely different teams.
