chance hold points time
Any time you hold him under 10 points you have a chance to win, because he's awfully good.
care committee complain fine job talk teams whining
There will be no whining or complaining from us. We had our opportunity. We didn't take care of business. The committee does a fine job every year. We're not going to complain or talk about any teams that got in.
great success summer tail worked
Anthony worked his tail off. He had a great spring, summer and fall. So he's had some success because of it.
good hold job shots sure time
Of the 15 shots he took, I'm not sure how many of them were good looks. We did a good job contesting his shots. Any time you hold him under 10 points, you have a good shot to win.
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.
contain decent felt might opportunity zone
He's had some big games. We felt like the zone might give us the opportunity to contain him. For the most part, it did a decent job.
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.
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.
deserve league won
They're going to be in (the NCAA) and deserve to be after having won our league by two games.
balance gone good great six sure teams
We've gone through years where we've had really good teams at the top, but I'm not sure we've had a balance of six teams like this year. I'm not sure we have one great team, but we have six really good teams.
beat fortunate good shot
We just shot it better than they did. They're a good team, and I feel awfully fortunate to beat them twice.
games knowing ncaa noses point program
We're disappointed we're not in the NCAA tournament, knowing that one or two games was the difference. That really makes you disappointed. But our program will never be at the point where we can look our noses down at the NIT.
basketball difference gap larger neutral opportunity perceives played public schools smaller
When we have an opportunity to play the larger schools, they see the difference is just not there. Basketball is a home-and-road sport and, traditionally, the big schools have always played at home. Now when the smaller schools get them on a neutral court, the gap is not what the public perceives it to be.
We have no complaints. We had our opportunities, we just didn't get it done.
