The players know this system, and they feel good about the fact that it's brought them success,

We came out of the blocks with good energy and it was a wire-to-wire win over a good team.
good radar
Let's put it this way. We're on the radar screen. And that's a good thing.
allowed ball carter catch good hand hurt knew shooter shots smith surprise
We knew what kind of shooter Smith was. That was no surprise to us. He made some unbelievable long-range shots with a hand in his face. And Carter hurt us in the first half. We allowed him to catch the ball in good position. We didn't play him properly.
best bit defensive erase forward gamble good justin nation presence reason somebody team
They're a good defensive team, and the reason they're a good defensive team is because they have a shot-blocking presence (Wyoming forward Justin Williams) who's one of the best in the nation who can erase any mistakes.

I don't want them to fall prey to thinking so much about consequences. I just want them to play basketball.

left selection teams
We all know there are going to be teams left out and there are going to be discussions, and that's just part of the selection process. That's just part of sports.
