plays
They made the plays they had to make and we didn't.
awful dominated game group night picked players superior vastly
This is a game where we were just dominated by a vastly superior group of players and coaches. We picked an awful night to not even be able to find the basket.
basically comeback cut dominated game heart minutes players superior team took vastly won
They won the game in the first 10 minutes and there was nothing that we could do to cut into that margin. They basically took our heart early, and we're not a team that has a lot of comeback potential. This is a game that we were just dominated by vastly superior players and a coach.

He totally lost his composure. He totally played into their hands. He had been playing so well.
bit dig half perfectly played
You're always going to have mistakes. You're not going to play perfectly down the stretch, when everything has to work. You know there are going to be some miscues. We just haven't played solidly in the first half and we've had to dig out of that. ... It's just a bit too much for us.

It has been my pleasure to serve WSU in these years.

I'm anticipating we'll have him at full strength next week. We're going to try and be very careful with this one.

I think Batista's the rock on that team.
alternate change means panic regarding rely trying winning
I'm trying not to panic or change everything around regarding that, but I'm trying to find some alternate means of scoring. We can't rely on winning with the three.
aside emotions fact kids maybe owned
I don't know what that is aside from the emotions of the game. Maybe the fact that they have pretty much owned us over the years. I'm not sure. I do know . . . that they've got a lot of young kids out there.
existence
That's been the story of our existence here. Almost, but not quite.
arrogance empties face false gut learned pride punch realize rebuilding truly
Sometimes you have to be empty. That is one thing I have truly learned in all the rebuilding projects. At some point, you have got to take a punch to the gut that just empties all the arrogance or pride or false hopes, and then you realize we better face up to who we are.
