best lay opportunity
We have to play our very best to have an opportunity in this game. I tell you this, they're not going to go out there to lay down and die, though.
extremely team today
We're a different team today than we were back then. But I think we can go out and play this team extremely hard.
beat double gray guard leaves teams tough
We just got beat by a better team. When they go bad, they can always go in to Gray and you have to guard him. Most teams will double him, and that leaves someone else open. That makes them tough to beat.
atmosphere exciting
This (tournament) is as exciting as it gets. This kind of atmosphere is what you play for.
happened penn playing stranger surprise
We're playing at Penn State, which is 15-14. That's a surprise to me, but stranger things have happened to me this year.
defend eventually hit
We didn't defend today. But you can't put everything on your defense. You have to eventually hit shots.
behalf closer good happened step wednesday
Wednesday will tell the tale. Over the weekend, some good things happened in our behalf that got us a step closer today. But we can end all this speculation by going to St. John's and winning.
contest guys mad work
We work on contesting every day for 20 minutes. My guys are mad at me, 'Why we got to do this?' Because it's a three-point shot, you got to contest it.
ball boy good hit shot
We set up a good shot for him, he just didn't have any legs. The ball hit the rim and I just think the boy was tired.
finals forgotten ncaa round team
What has been forgotten is we did get to the finals of the NIT and I thought that was better than (losing) in the NCAA in the first round the way that team was.
last moments situations trust
When we get to those last moments we have to trust each other out there. I think sometimes we get into situations where we don't trust each other on what can be accomplished.
game hard played sixth starters three
We played a game down three starters and your sixth man. It's hard to play like that.
action chance next plan year
The plan is in action. First year I wanted to get to .500. The next year a NIT berth. This year we have a chance at 17 or 18 wins. The plan is in action.
beaten team
We were beaten by a better team today.
