conference game wild win won
It was a wild place. It was really rocking. We had to win that game or we wouldn't have won the conference championship.
ages bad dame few found game glad guys hand hit oftentimes plays shots step
Their shots were deep, and oftentimes we had a hand in their face. Our guys made plays and there were very few mistakes. Some of the shots Notre Dame hit were from 35-40 feet. If you step out on those, it's bad defense. It was a game for the ages and I'm just glad we battled and found a way to win.
amazing change decisions game good lose offense outcome percent shoot shot tough
Not often do you lose a game when you shot over 70 percent in a half. It is tough to lose a game when you shoot that. I thought our offense was good and we made good decisions and (had) good looks. Its amazing how one little thing can change the outcome of the game.
five game gotten last teams time together
Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been like this down to the end. Every game has been a battle.
brings close game good talk teams
It was such a good, close game with two good teams going at it, so we always talk about that game. I think that it brings back some memories.
aaron best continue foul game guys hands played playing prettiest trouble usual
It wasn't our prettiest game. It was tough, and we battled through. We had guys in foul trouble. Aaron and Carl played the whole game with their hands in their pockets. We played our usual rotation, playing a lot of guys, and it benefited us a lot. We'll continue to do that. It's the best thing for this group. So many guys made big plays.
game lose percent running second shoot tough whatever
It's tough to lose a game when you shoot 74 percent in the second half. We have to be better defensively. For whatever reason, we were running into their screens.
change game ready
One game doesn't change things. We are going to be ready to go (tonight).
ball beat close concern games lost shoot teams
They lost so many close games, that they have to be a concern for people. And also teams that can really shoot the ball and get it going, those teams are always a concern because there are always some games where they can beat anybody.
energy game
Every game we've battled. The energy is there.
five four games people puts runs separate teams win
You see teams go on runs and win 20 games one or two years in a row. You really separate yourself if you do it three, four and now five years. It puts you on a whole other level. It's something a lot of people didn't think could be done here.
either five games gone good last records road undefeated
Records on the road usually aren't as good as records at home. We want to be undefeated on the road well but we had all five games down to the last minute. They could have gone either way.
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.
