basketball becoming early good great hopefully played second start stretch
I thought we had a great stretch of basketball early in the second half. We played well enough to keep the lead. Hopefully this is the start of becoming a good basketball team.
defense double good whether
I thought our defense wasn't good enough. Whether we doubled down or didn't double down, it just wasn't good enough.
good played
I think so. We got up 25 (points) there. We played pretty good basketball.
almost best everybody game good halftime happened lose minnesota next seen situation six teams took trap
Just to get that thing to six at halftime took a lot of effort. I've seen that before. You're almost in a trap in a situation, where their best scorer (Grier) doesn't play, they lose a game probably everybody in Minnesota thought they should have won. ... Good teams come back after a situation like that, and we happened to be the next game.
expect game good guys job ready second start time
You don't expect a game like that going into it, and our guys did a good job of being ready to play but also being ready to play at the start of the second half. It was good to see, especially at this time of year.
came good pleased teams
I was very pleased the way we came out and the way we played. A lot of good teams don't do that.
coming good guards knew stop
We knew their guards were good coming into the game. We didn't stop them in the first half; they scored at will. We were flat.
capable good telling
We keep telling him how good he is and what he's capable of doing.
good guard puts tough
Thornton's really tough to guard when he puts it on the floor. He's just a good player.
contest expect good hopefully road scoring teams win year
We're like a lot of teams this year on the road, and hopefully we'll have a good performance. A lot of that comes from your defense. You can't get into a scoring contest on the road and expect to win very often. Most teams play better offensively at home.
good help hopefully league looks ncaa schedule shot strength teams tournament wins year
Historically, if you get to .500 in league play, you're in a pretty good position. Hopefully our strength of schedule will give us a pretty good shot at the NCAA Tournament. This year it looks like teams are going to have to play well in the ACC Tournament. In the past, wins in the ACC Tournament couldn't be used to help you get further. Now, you have to play well there to help your chances.
effort good overall
Hopefully, we can go from there. That was a very good effort overall for us. If we can play with that intensity, we'll be OK.
control difficult game good shots tempo
When they're on their game, they're very good because they play good defense, they can control the tempo of the game pretty well and when they make shots they're as difficult as anybody.
basketball bottom built conference everybody feeding four good leagues six strong top wins
There is no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody is really strong from top to bottom. They are all good basketball programs, and you don't have that four to six wins built into conference play like some leagues do.
