confidence good guys obviously seem step team
Levon was obviously very good tonight. It was a team effort. I like our 11 guys and I have confidence in all of them. I think you can see that and they all seem to step up.
conference easy feed games high leading open shoot shot talk tough win
They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage. They win games when they don't shoot a high percentage. They're going to make some 3s. They'll make some tough 3s. We talk about making them all tough shots. We can't give them any easy or open ones. When you give them an easy shot it just going to feed their confidence.
conference games high leading matter shoot win
They're going to take them, no matter what. They're not leading the conference in 3-point percentage, but in attempts, they are. They're going to make some 3s. Sometimes, they win some games when they don't shoot a high percentage.
good teams
Somebody's going to lose. Good teams are going to lose.
beyond brother looked maggie obvious older people touched
Maggie touched so many people beyond basketball. ...As an older brother I know she looked up to me. But I always looked up to her, too, and it's obvious that a lot of other people did as well.
given guys
I haven't really given it much thought. We're not guys that look at records.
free recognized shots tone waited
He really set the tone early. He recognized what we wanted to do early. He waited for his shots and he made his free throws.
forward looking respond
I'm looking forward to see how we respond to this challenge.
guess guys numbers shots
I guess the numbers say it right there. These two guys made shots all night.
areas beginning exhibition games improve improved maybe team year
This team has improved from the beginning of the year more than any team I've been around. From the exhibition games through the 14 (regular-season) games, they've improved tremendously. But we have a lot of areas we can improve in. Maybe that's because of our youth.
anxious battle calmed clock defense good great hard job last played ranked running rushed shots size tested towards win
This was a great win for us. I think we were anxious at first and rushed a bit. But we calmed down and played a great last 30 minutes. They're a very good team, ranked 19th in the RPI, so they're battle tested and very well coached. Their size and versatility make them hard to play against. I thought we did a good job offensively, especially running the clock at the end and getting great shots towards the end of possessions. Our defense still has a long way to go though.
confidence freshmen good guess played stands surprised toughest
We've been pretty good in all the months, but I guess that one stands out. We had a lot of confidence in the freshmen, but I am surprised at how well they have played defensively. That's always the toughest thing for freshmen and they still have a long way to go.
consider considered deep few guys hand mistakes shots
We never consider that. Tonight, I actually considered it. I thought about it because they were making so many unbelievable shots. The shots they were making were unbelievable, consistently deep and with a hand in their face. We had very few mistakes out there defensively. Guys were making shots from 35 feet.
battle practice win
We have to win the battle on the boards. We practice it every day.
