beat coming free ground improve knew ways
I thought we just battled and ground out a victory. We beat them on the boards, which is a thing we knew we had to do coming into the game, and we beat them badly. We also had to get better at making free throws, and we need to improve defensively. We still have a long ways to go.
amazing came feeling fine free happy
It came down to free throws. It's amazing how it's such a fine line. It's amazing how one little thing can go from making you feel happy to feeling disappointment.
free miss
(If) we make a free throw, they miss a free throw, we're very happy.
came defense fine free game good instead line ourselves position putting win
We put ourselves in a position to win. But it just came down to free throws. There is such a fine line between a win and a loss. It would have been good if it would have went in, but we need to play better defense through the game instead of putting ourselves in that position.
battle free good playing second teams throws win
It was two good teams playing well. They made free throws (11 for 14 in the second half), and we need to win the rebounding battle more than we did.
free line shot
They got to the line 32 times and shot 81 percent, and that's a lot of points. They made the free throws.
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.
continue couple feels free handling missed moving throws win work worse
I told him it's over and we're moving on. He missed it. No one feels worse than him. He's going to continue to work hard. He's going to work harder. He'll find a way. Shortly, we'll see him make a couple of free throws to win a game. He's handling it well.
foul free guys playing teams tough trouble
They were a physical, tough team. Those were two teams getting after it and playing aggressive. We didn't outbound them and they got more free throws. Obviously, our big guys having foul trouble had something to do with it.
hitting zone
I thought we'd see a lot more zone than we did. It got down to our penetration and Carl hitting those 3s. Our penetration was good, especially when they went man-to-man.
adversity foul good played shots throughout
I thought we battled, we played hard, we got through some adversity with the foul trouble. We made some shots at the end but we didn't make them consistently throughout the game. They're a good team, but we need to play better.
conference deserve given great guys ncaa nine playing season stepped talked teams tonight
I think we should have nine teams in the NCAA tournament. I think we should set a record. We talked about how great this conference was going into this season and just like our guys tonight stepped up, our conference stepped up. We deserve nine bids. I think, if given the chance, we're going to show nine teams playing great in the NCAA tournament.
next satisfied week
I say it every week. I'll be the same next week and it'll be the same the week after that. I try to make it a new idea, but it's not changing. I'll never be satisfied with (the defense).
bad both defense floor guys lead offense played poor ready rushed teams
Our guys were ready to play. We played hard. It was just bad execution. We rushed things. Our poor offense lead to our defense deficiency. Both teams battled on the floor and were going hard.
