contact felt himself ready took
We still think Tyrus will be ready to go. He did all he could do and he felt a little pain, which is going to happen. He took himself out of contact and he'll come back and try to go a little longer.
defense foul games good impressive last lose point seen teams took tough traveled until
The thing that was most impressive to me is we didn't foul on the last shot. And I've seen teams lose games because they're undisciplined and they foul. He took a tough shot. I thought he traveled before he shot. Our team did the five-switch defense on their own, which was good for them to be able to do, considering up until that point we hadn't really made too many good decisions.
mitchell took
You say they took Darrel Mitchell out. We took out Green. That's pretty much a tradeoff.
early final graduate hit improved league leave ourselves people players proven talent teams took year
Our league took a hit from people early because we had so many players graduate and so many players leave early (for the NBA), but this was a league with a lot of young talent and with some outstanding coaches. Our league improved as the year went along, and with two teams in the Final Four, I think we've proven ourselves to be a lot better league than people thought we'd be.
bad blamed credit supposed took
In another sense, he wasn't as bad as he was supposed to be. He often took credit for things that he didn't do, or was blamed for things he didn't do.
bit energy five half level picked points second six took
I think the energy level picked up a little bit after we made those first five or six points of the second half and we took the lead. I thought our energy level defensively picked up.
careless couple game played smart won
I thought we had the game won on a couple of occasions. I don't think we played real smart down the stretch. We had some really careless turnovers uncharacteristic of how we've been playing.
defended eight last ok seven until
I thought we had Steele defended OK until the last seven or eight minutes.
finish game kindness playing quit win
I think we kind of quit playing to win and (started) playing not to lose. We had it going. We just didn't finish it off. It's a game we let go.
letting loving players serious team wrong
I thought our team was being who it is, outgoing, fun, but loving and serious when they need to be. From some of the backgrounds that our players are from, there's nothing wrong with letting out the emotion.
casual game looking maybe ohio start state team
I thought our team was a little casual to start the game and didn't play with a lot of enthusiasm. Maybe they were looking back on the Ohio State game and anticipating what we're doing on Saturday.
couple days good time work
I think we were able to work through Tyrus Thomas' injury, but it's time now for us to get back whole and get a couple of good days of practice.
deeper fans high school seen
I think it translates into your fans having a deeper connection, maybe, having seen (the Tigers) play in high school and now at LSU.
blues guitar king lee run
I think there are a lot of wannabes...but I don't think there's another Lee Atwater, ... but no one can play blues guitar with B.B. King that I know of and also run a presidential campaign...
