brown chance credit good lead needed second shot shots zone
We had the lead back-and-forth in the second half, and I thought we had a chance to win. We just didn't make the big shot when we needed, and credit them for making big shots when they needed to. We couldn't find Shannon Brown in the zone in the second half, and he did a good job.
close continue defense figure good post starts
We've got to figure out a way, but obviously, post defense starts with good perimeter defense. We've just got to continue to show improvement. We're not close to where we need to be offensively or defensively.

Travis has been good for us academically, socially and basketball-wise. He's been a model student-athlete here.
coming played realized
Travis has realized that this thing is coming to an end. He's played tremendously, him and Geary both.
challenged couple good guard hit job jump
We challenged their shooters well, (freshman guard Bobby) Riddell hit a couple at the end, but I think we did a good job of challenging their jump shooters.
goals good job
We really wanted to get to the free-throw line, that was one of our goals. We thought we could take them off the dribble, especially Geary, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.

We just tried to not let them be comfortable.

We've come a long, long way from really not competing to competing and having a chance to win games. Hopefully, good things will continue for us on the horizon.

We're playing with more confidence, and that might be the most important thing. We know it's going to be a tough task (against Ohio State), but we're looking forward to the challenge.

When we came to town, it wasn't a (guaranteed) win anymore. You're gonna have to work hard and play well to beat us.
chemistry people today
Those are things that people don't see, but for us, we know they're there now. I can tell those guys, 'I want you here today at 2:45.' Well, everybody's here at 2:45, because we just have that chemistry now.
confidence needed obviously
We needed a game, we needed a confidence builder, and this is obviously one that was very important for us.
athletic ball basketball quick run scores shots tough trying
We were trying to run at him and make him get the ball to someone else to make some shots but he's very good. He scores the basketball when he has the ball in his hands, and he's very quick and he's very athletic and it's tough to keep the ball out of his hands.
