phase
They outworked us; they out-toughed us in every phase of the game, and we got what we deserved.
found hit
They found a way to win. They just hit some big shots.
early few focus games line lost talk talking team weeks won
We've won some games we shouldn't. We probably lost some games we should've won. We just need to focus on getting better. If a few weeks down the line we're still in the hunt, we can talk about it later. But it's too early for our team to be talking about anything like that.
deal exposure given great helped hurt past sure taking
I'm kind of taking a wait-and-see attitude. In the past I'm not sure it's helped us a great deal or hurt us a great deal, but it has given us some exposure on that Saturday.
final sure
I'm not sure we have to go to the Final Four, but we have to have more postseason success. That would give us more credibility.
good great six sure
I'm not sure we have a great team. But we've got six awfully good ones.
couple hope injuries next
I hope we're getting all of our injuries out of the way for the next couple of years.
crowd game third won
That's probably the third game they've won for us this year. The crowd wouldn't let us quit.
few games hump last won
They've won a lot of games in a lot of different ways. Buzzer-beaters, last-second shots. We've had our chances, we just haven't been able to get over the hump the last few years.
finish found game stay tough
It's a tough way to end the season. We found a way to stay in the game ... we just didn't finish it.
deserve good hard last league month number playing six teams
It's hard to say a month out what your league deserves, but we've got six teams playing pretty good basketball. This last month is going to be interesting for our league like it is for all leagues, but when it's all said and done, we'll have a number of teams that deserve attention.
chance hold points time
Any time you hold him under 10 points you have a chance to win, because he's awfully good.
deserve league won
They're going to be in (the NCAA) and deserve to be after having won our league by two games.
energy few guys helped played shots time
The guys played with some energy tonight. We got a few shots down, which helped us get going. This time of year, when you don't play for 13 days, that's really a long time.
