blow final nice
When we were up 20 with 2 to go, I said to myself 'Even I can't blow this one. It was nice to not have those gut-wrenching final seconds.
balls difficulty keeping playing shot
He was just playing so hard. He had difficulty with his shot but was out there keeping balls alive.
bit came character defense good guards kevin pitt realize shots took tried
Kevin came in here on a mission. I thought we were a little bit out of character at Pitt. We probably tried to do a little bit too much and probably didn't realize what good defense Pitt plays. We took shots we thought were good and they weren't because Pitt guards you.
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.
best foul free shots throw tonight trademark usual
Our usual trademark is to make foul shots down the stretch, and tonight we didn't. We had two of our best free throw shooters at the line.
college game great hotter shot
It's the great equalizer. The college game has never been hotter than it is right now, and the three-point shot has been a big part of that.
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.
playing rhythm teams tough zone
It's tough to get in a rhythm in this league. You can go to playing teams who play all zone one day, to teams who play all (man-to-man defense) the next.
shooting tough
If we're shooting well, we're a tough out.
corners glad guys kick
I'm glad he made it. They had their guys in the corners to try to kick it out for the tie.
compare fun gun shoot spread
It is not a gimmick. I wouldn't compare it to a wishbone, I'd say it is more like the fun and gun because they spread you out and they are going to shoot the 3-pointer 25 times.
hope people playing road test tough
I hope people don't think, all of a sudden, you're not playing well. You're just playing better teams, you're playing on the road and it's a tough test for all of us.
attack country game hope kids knowing opponent squeeze team
I think our kids don't know any different right now. So, we just attack each game knowing our opponent is a top-ranked team in the country and we hope we can squeeze out more wins.
thank
I thought that's what he was going to try to do (miss). That's why I called a timeout. Thank goodness, he made the shot.
