green shooting shots
(At) Canisius and at Richmond, we had shooting centers, but we never had anything like this. He may take some shots that look crazy, but he's got a green light.
line score
They were going to put us on the line and make us score that way.
problems
He's so active, they'll be problems for us there.
born child experience traveling
I don't have any experience in this area. I've only had one child born during the season, but we were traveling on vans then.
appears close injured percent plays since
He appears to be as close to 100 percent as he's been since the injury. He's going to get injured when he plays because he's so fearless. Going into this game, we're going to need that fearlessness in him, and I know we're going to get it.
highest level louisville playing
I think Louisville is playing at the highest level they have all year.
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.
learn
We just couldn't get over the hump. That's just the way it goes. We'll learn something from it.
defense good heard score
We heard a lot about their defense, and it is flat-out terrific, but we play pretty good defense too, and we've been able to score on a lot of good teams.
canal knew root second
We knew going in that it was going to be a root canal in the second half. They just went after us with everything they had, but in the end, we were still standing.
direction excited games good national possibly speaks teams television top unless year
We're very excited about our television schedule. To go from one or two national games a year to possibly double-digit games on national television is good news, but you can't get on television unless you play the top teams in the country. It speaks well about the direction of our program.
bags guys ice players step
We have ice bags taped to players all over the place, but we had guys step up and so, we keep playing.
defense dug hold late lead playing rebounds tight ugly
When we don't get turnovers, we can't win. We had just enough late to hold on to the lead by playing tight defense and swarming the ball. We really dug out some ugly rebounds tonight.
contribute eight percent
There are eight of them, so 50 percent of them probably will have to contribute immediately.
