care taken
We could have taken better care of the ball.
atmosphere biggest experience face four games good guys hostile last ncaa similar
We had four good games up there. We got a lot of good things out of it. A lot of guys got some good, big-game experience in a hostile atmosphere similar to what we'll face in the NCAA tournament. We got better last week. That's the biggest advantage.
execution good played recognized throughout
We had good execution throughout the game. We recognized some things of how they played and executed our plan.
playing win
We want to win every game. We're 21-4 and playing well right now.
attack came gate practice syracuse talked time
We came out of the gate and executed throughout. We didn't have a lot of time to practice for Syracuse and their 2-3 zone, but mentally, we talked about a lot of what we wanted to do to attack it.
ball care goal obviously seventeen
We obviously would like to take care of the ball better. Seventeen turnovers are not what we had set our goal for.
amazing bad
What's amazing to me is that they didn't have one bad second-round game.
change expect foul guys minutes surprise
We had to go and change some minutes with the foul trouble. But it's not a surprise the way we responded. I expect those guys to respond.
grow learn year youth
We had to grow as the year went on, and we are not going to use youth as an excuse. We've got to get something out of this. We've got to learn from this.
defend everybody guard knows secret
We've got to defend and guard the perimeter. There's no secret there. Everybody knows that.
days despite fact good last playing stressed three
We weren't playing well despite the fact that we stressed the last three days about getting off to a good start.
grew matters respond year youth
What can you say to these guys? We grew a lot as the year went on, and youth is not an excuse. All that matters right now is how we respond to it.
emphasis good playing
We don't put too much emphasis in scoring. I know it's going to be there at different times. Carl is making good decisions. He's playing good defense. He's rebounding. He's playing very well.
carried depth factor
Tyrell was big. Our depth was a big factor again. That really carried us on our way.
