compete focus games running ways win won
That was kind of our focus (Saturday night), to find a way to get a win on the road. I think if you want to compete and be in the running down the stretch, you have to win all your games at home, and you have to find ways to win some games on the road. We hadn't won on the road, so that was a big win.
focused playing pun system
He was the center, no pun intended, of our attack. Our system was focused on playing inside-out. I think when we were playing the best, we were playing off of him.
defense good happy
I thought our defense was good tonight. I was really happy with that.
continue good help hopefully shooting soon start work
I think he (Hampton) has to work his way through it in his own mind. He's going to continue to keep shooting and that's what will help this team, and that's what we want him to do. Hopefully he'll get off to a good start here soon and he'll be shooting better.
games hand hoped manner mark move ourselves people played positive relates road win
We just weren't able to win enough games on the road to get to the 20-win mark to move ourselves up in the (OVC) standings where we hoped to be. On the other hand we did some very positive things, and I think our young people at times played in a manner that is really encouraging as it relates to the future.
careers deal great hope job owe people seniors turn
We owe our seniors a great deal of gratitude. They have done a great job for us and I hope that people turn out to acknowledge the careers they have had.
high missed nashville ourselves standard
When we don't make it to Nashville we feel like we missed the mark. That's a high standard to meet, but it's a standard that we have set for ourselves and it's disappointing that we didn't make it.
call conference early games home seem weekend
For us there is 16 conference games to go and yet, boy, these games this weekend seem really important because they are home games. It's kind of early to call them must-win, but they are really important games.
ball confidence found groove seemed seems shooter shooting
He seems to have really found his groove and he's shooting the ball with a lot of confidence right now. That's real big for a shooter to have that confidence, and he's seemed to found it again.
allowed almost field percent scholars-and-scholarship shooting
He is almost shooting 51 percent (from the 3-point line). I don't think you should be allowed to shoot better from 3 than you do from the field ? and he does.
good player work
He's a good player and he will work his way through it.
basketball finding means open passing pleasing
A stat that is really pleasing to me is 23 assists. That means that we are really passing the basketball and finding the open man.
gone guys hopefully lost mind pleasing progress
I would have thought you would have lost your mind or have gone over the edge. The pleasing thing about this is we got some guys off the bench, which will be big for us as we hopefully progress here.
along andy bringing job proud team terrific
Andy really did a terrific job of bringing the team along and bringing them together. I'm proud of the job he did.
