available billy bottom breaking confident deal issues law line personal second sure talked
It had nothing to do with the law or breaking rules. He just had some personal issues he had to deal with. We've never talked about it, and we never will. I'm sure Billy never will either. The bottom line is, we think he's on the right track, and we're pretty confident he'll be available second semester.
boards dominated either second time
We were not in either game. The first time we battled them on the boards remarkably. The second time they dominated us.
boards good job second
We just didn't do a good job on the boards in the first half. We did a better job in the second half.
ball bit care good hard high movement second trying unsure
We're not a high turnover team. We take care of the ball well in games. I think we're a little bit unsure offensively and everyone's trying too hard to make something happen. But we have to get better movement. In the second half, we got a little better movement and a little better spacing and we got some real good possessions.
call game gave half looked rather second thrown tonight watched
I didn't like the non-calls. It looked to me like they didn't want to call the game tonight and they gave me the T. I've never been thrown out of a game. I wanted the technical. You can't say this is an exhibition. I watched the game in the second half and they called them. I'd rather not have been thrown out. I'm disappointed. I wanted to be out there.
good half patience quite second shots
We didn't have quite enough patience on offense. When we got shots and really we got some good ones, and in the second half we got a lot of good ones. We just didn't make anything.
best call defense game half second year
Our defense was the best it's been all year in the first half and most of the second half. At the end the game just got crazy, I don't know what you'd call that.
gets good hitting job letting open second
You can't let him get loose. He showed what he can do when it gets open by hitting those two threes in the second half. For the most part, we did a good job of not letting him get set.
expansion game needs ready
I think we should expand. I think we're ready for this. The game needs an expansion of the tournament.
coming last tournament
I think actually coming out of the tournament this year, we're better than we were coming out last year.
guard taking
I think it's too much a part of our game. We're taking too many threes. I've never been a big fan. But it's just something you have to use. And it's something you really have to defend; guard out to the perimeter a lot more than before.
barely games knew maybe might proven teams tournament win year
I think this year more than ever has proven there are teams that might not get in or just barely get in that can win games. In the past, years ago, I think there were always teams that maybe wanted to get in, but you really knew they couldn't win any games in the tournament if they got in.
seems whatever
I think there should be an expansion. Whatever seems to fit.
against deck difficult game good jim stack talked
Jim and I talked before the game (Monday) about this. It just doesn't make sense. Too many good teams. It's too difficult to stack the deck against people.
