four game mean seniors
That was the whole game plan: to play for the four seniors who mean so much to this team. (Smith) really did that.
advantage game
A game like this, you've got to take advantage of your opportunities.
defensive games played
This is probably one of the better defensive games we've played all year.
game guard legs ways win
As long as you guard in a game like this when you know your legs are tired, you can find ways to win the game.
game guts nearly player playing proud
He's so enthusiastic to play this game after all the things he's been through. He nearly went two years without playing basketball. He's not the same player that he once was, but now, he does it on guts and determination. I'm so proud of him.
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.
bigger games huge list playing season teams winning year
Winning 20 games this season is a huge accomplishment. When you look at the list of teams to have done it, we're proud, but we didn't play this year to win 20 games. We're playing to do bigger and better things.
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.
job possible taking worst
Some of my friends said I was taking the Kent job at the worst possible time. They said all I could do was go down.
gut guys kept team telling visibly
Some guys on our team were visibly tired. We kept telling them in timeouts, you've just got to gut through it.
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.
good living rhythm
We never got into a good rhythm offensively or defensively. We've been making a living on getting consecutive stops, and I don't know if we got one.
enjoy gives guys joking laugh spend talk talking time watch
We get in there, get a sandwich, watch a movie. Those guys talk and laugh in the back. What I like is that it gives us a lot of time to spend with the guys. It's a different setting, and we're talking and joking around with them. They just enjoy it.
