doubt far guarded museum shot sparks
Sparks shot that one from the museum some place. Even if we were man-to-man, I doubt we would have guarded him that far out.
good
In the end, it comes down to you have to play good in the games.
throws
I know (Kinsey) would have been here. It's one of those things: He wasn't here on time, so he doesn't start. That throws Renaldo back in there.
chest class coaching great job received trying warmth
He's really persevered, done a great coaching job with great class and great dignity. You could see the warmth he received, he received it with great humility. No chest bumping or all of that. I'm not trying to get in their business, I just know about him as a person and him as a coach.
realize
I didn't realize it's been that long. If we can do that, it would be pretty special.
speaks
He's got a personality that, sometimes, he speaks his mind. And, sometimes, it doesn't come out right.
anywhere capable country deals needed ours team type win
I can't think of a team that needed that type win more than ours did anywhere in the country tonight. It's one of those deals where you just feel like you're capable of doing something special, but you haven't done it yet.
affect bigger lesson positive
The bigger lesson is you affect the things that are still possible. And you do it in a positive way.
ball defense growing improved scoring shooting vocal
Not only is (Day) shooting the ball well and scoring well, his defense has improved and he is more vocal and more confident. I think he is not only growing as a player, he is growing as a person.
capable
It's one of those deals, you feel like you're capable of doing something special, but you haven't done it yet.
means
It means a lot to our team, our university, our state.
time win
It was a much-needed win for us. What this win does for us, only time will tell. It couldn't come at a better time for us and it couldn't come at a better place.
believe club half second speaks volumes win
To be able to come back and play like that in the second half I think speaks volumes about where our club is right now. They still believe that they can play well, they believe they can win, and they believe they can win on the road.
against coaches game given great playing speaks tonight truly volumes win
We couldn't play any better tonight than we played. You can always do something better, but given it's a championship-level game against truly one of the great coaches and he's playing in his hometown, to be able to win that game speaks volumes about our team.
