floor helped man opens people players senior style whether
Senior players have helped us make our style work. It just opens the floor for us, whether people are in man or zone.
shoot
When we shoot them like that, we can play with a lot of people.
There's no secret. There's nothing. I've been doing this 31 years and there's no real secret.
asked locker moment prayer quiet
Things were very quiet in the locker room. And then I asked for a moment of prayer.
hard learn looks open pitt played tremendous
The stats tell the story of the game. Pitt played a tremendous game. We'll learn a lot from this game. It was very hard to get open looks in this game.
enjoy experience good guys last ncaa playing rather
Rather than those gut-wrenching last seconds, it was good to just get some of these guys out of there and let them enjoy the experience of playing in the NCAA Tournament.
blend defensive great hear maybe pittsburgh watching
They are a blend of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and maybe a Georgetown with the way they guard. They are just a great defensive team. You hear a lot about it, but, watching it with my own eyes, you can see they have great quickness.
bit credit schedule
The schedule is a little bit different this year. Don't give us too much credit yet.
beauty charged defense fast gets gotten leads steps zone
Sometimes that zone just spooks people. I still haven't gotten used to how fast leads can change. When we make threes, the defense just steps up big time. Everyone gets pretty charged up. That's the beauty of the three.
came certainly character defense good guards kevin patient pitt points question realize result scores shots took tried
No question Kevin came in here certainly on a mission, not that he wasn't when we went to Pitt, but I thought we were a little out of character that game. We tried probably to do too much and we didn't realize how good their defense is and we took shots that we thought were good shots, but in retrospect, they weren't because Pitt guards you. This time, Kevin was a little more patient and the result -- he scores 26 more points than he did the first time.
defense good handle handled learn played team tremendous
They played tremendous defense on us. They frustrate you. They're very good defenders, and we as a team have to learn how to handle it when that happens. ... I don't like the way we handled a lot of things, but we are going to learn from this game.
games intangible road season sort wearing
There were some games when we were on the road and I didn't think we had the right attitude. Did we have the right energy? Was the season wearing us down? I don't know. It's sort of an intangible thing.
baby basketball caught game healthy prefer seem
This is a pretty big event. It makes basketball seem like nothing. If he's caught between games, or he can not make a game because of the delivery, then we'll just play on through it, and get better as a team. That's what happens. We'd prefer a healthy baby much more than a healthy game.
beat pittsburgh team
Any team that can beat Pittsburgh can beat anyone.
