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.
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.
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.
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.

We had an unbelievable run in 2002, and that team will always be special in Kent State history. But this team will be in the very next paragraph.
five teams
With them being a five seed, if there's (that many) teams better then them, I'd like to see who they are.
catch extremely knew night shoot
We knew what was coming. For us to have a chance, two things had to happen. We had to shoot extremely, extremely well and catch them on a night when they didn't shoot well from the perimeter.
