That's the thing I think of when I think of this rivalry. That's when I sensed it was something special.
change changeable missed momentum stock
That's way overrated. Momentum can change so quickly. One injury, one missed shot, a missed dunk, technical. Momentum is too changeable for me to put much stock in it.
defense excellent game great open played shots
(Marshall) played a great game and they're getting better every day. I thought they just played excellent defense on us. We did all of the things we wanted to do to get open shots and they just didn't go in.
beaten felt good quality win
It felt like 10 years ago that we had beaten a really good team. We didn't have that quality win yet.
ball playing thrilled
We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.
hard match seconds
With 5 seconds it's just very hard to match their quickness.
good hit kevin maybe played shoot shots smart stopped team
We started to shoot too quickly, maybe we played too smart and stopped attacking. We had good shots and didn't make them and that other team was charging. Then Kevin hit that big shot we really needed, the big dagger.
against finding five great job occasions remember six time
What I remember the first time is that they dunked about the first five or six shots. They did a great job against us, with dribble-drive penetration and finding (Eric) Hicks, finding (Jihad) Muhammad. They out-hustled us on many occasions in the first half.
attack game inside learned outside percent rare scoring shoot success syracuse
We learned at Syracuse that we had to attack inside and outside for scoring success. It's rare that you see a game where we shoot twenty-some percent (from 3-point range) and win.
ambitious endeavor glad turns
This was an ambitious endeavor by us to come all the way out here, but as it turns out now, I'm glad we did.
road schedule win
Today's win was much-needed before the road trip. I can't really say I am comfortable now. I think our schedule has helped.
half knew root second standing worn
You knew the second half was going to be a root canal. They went after us with everything they had with their waves, and we got worn down, but we were still standing at the end.
half knew root second
You knew the second half was going to be a root canal.
call good jersey knew tough
We know that they're going to play good defense. We call it the New Jersey defense, the strong, tough defense. We knew that they were going to play that way.
