ball fabulous free gotta guys last minutes turn
I thought we were fabulous in overtime. I tell our guys two things when you're in the last minutes of a game: You can't turn the ball over and you gotta make your free throws. We did all that in overtime.
east goal guys knows step tough
Yeah, it's going to be tough and Quincy knows that but some other guys need to step up. Our goal is to still make the Big East tournament, so we're going to need some other guys to take us there.
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.
against effective guys threw
He was effective against everyone. We threw some guys at him, but it didn't make any difference.
challenge double guys team type
We're the type of team that at times it's a challenge for us to score. What I tell my team is we want two other guys to (score) double figures. We don't know who that may be, we just need two other guys to contribute.
changes guards guys improved philosophy reason team
The reason I feel we're a better rebounding team is we're more athletic. That changes the whole philosophy of things. And all our guys rebound; our guards get after it and our big guys have improved in that area, too.
best five games guys heart job kids played playing three
We were playing three games in five days. These guys played their heart out, especially in the first half. I don't feel bad. I thought our kids did the best job they could.
beat forced goal guys hit shots time tough
Quincy went 5-for-20 and they forced that 5-for-20. Many times, he got mid-range shots but he had a tough time lofting it over their heads. Their goal was to take Quincy, make Quincy not beat them. Make the other guys beat them. And our other guys couldn't hit the shots today.
guys happen needed understand won
Quincy called one and I told them we only had one and told them we needed one at the end. But those things happen I understand and we had no timeouts. I even told our guys if we had a time-out we would have won this game.
almost athletic defend guard guards guy guys plays reason skills taller
Normally, the guy you guard plays the same position, but Marquis can really guard almost anybody. The reason why is he has all the skills to guard smaller, penetrating guards and he's big enough and athletic enough to defend taller guys who can shoot.
fabulous guys kept mean played ran
I think our guys played admirably. I thought Quincy was fabulous in the first half. He kept us in there. I mean without him, we're not in there and we don't have a chance. But I think we ran out of gas.
guys last locker room won
I told our guys in the locker room that if we had a timeout, we would've won that game. We would've set something up on that last shot.
guys last won
I told our guys if we had had a timeout we would have won that game. We would have set up something for that last shot.
ability guys love miss ncaa next talked year
I told the guys that I'm going to miss them. I told them I love them. I also talked to them about next year ? go out and get to the NCAA (Tournament) because they have the ability to do that.
