contain defense good guys match rely solid team
We're not good enough to match up with those guys one-on-one. We have to rely on solid team defense to contain those guys.
attract excuses player sheer type
It's sheer numbers. They're able to attract a type of player that we're not able to attract at Kent State. We're not making any excuses but we're probably not going to be able to get a McDonald's All-American, where they can.
league
If that's one of the things that the hierarchies of the league think (will work), I'm all for it.
exactly kid team
There isn't a kid on that team that doesn't know exactly what's going on with this year's team. It's family.
concerned hard played plays sure team tough whether
I thought we played pretty hard tonight, which is all I'm concerned about. They're a tough team to guard, and whether we play here or in Alaska, I just want to make sure our team plays hard.
hat programs respect
I take my hat off to them. A rivalry? I think it's two programs that have a lot of respect for each other.
clothes exact game wear
I wear pretty much the same clothes everyday. Just like those guys, I do the exact same thing every game day.
explore interest looking owe willing
You're always looking to see who has interest in you. I would never say I'm not interested. I'm always willing to talk. You owe it to yourself to explore all your options.
eventually knew turns
I knew eventually he would turns things around.
guys sees trying wants
He wants to do so well that sometimes he presses. He's trying to do so much, and he sees guys making plays, and he wants to do well.
time tough
Boy, every time you think it's going to be tough for him to come back (from injury), he does.
filters guy kinda next playing throughout
Confidence, I think, is something that spreads throughout the team. When they see one guy playing with confidence, it kinda filters to the next guy, and so on.
bench guys nine ours rely step strength utilize
It's been a strength of ours all year. We play nine or 10 guys. We have different guys step up. We don't rely on one or two guys. We utilize our bench as much as we can.
determination group guys hearts played win
This was a group of guys with unbelievable determination to win this game. Toledo played their hearts out, but these guys would not be denied.
