andre balance born games guys minutes nine played star today
I really like the balance we had today. We played nine guys for a lot of minutes and they all performed. There is a star born in every one of these games and today it was Andre Allen.
coached locker played quite room somber visions winning
That's quite a somber locker room in there. They had visions of winning this whole thing. It's not one guy. We played bad, I coached bad, it's everybody.

Let me tell you, we played well. Don't think we didn't play well, we're not much better than they.
defense dreaded played work zone
I thought our defense was good, and then I played the dreaded zone for a while which I think everybody's like 'Wow'. But we have a zone and we work on it. I just don't use it that much.
coached fast game played thrown turned
It's not one guy. We played bad, I coached bad, it's everybody. We're all thrown in on this one. We all missed, all turned it over, all didn't play up to snuff. I didn't get the game fast enough, so I didn't coach well enough.
chance instead lose move played playing second won
For a while there in the second half, we played not to lose instead of playing to win. We had a chance to lose the game, but we won it, and we will move on.
game guys played talks three
There was no one that played well. In this kind of game, you must have two or three guys that really play well and that everyone talks about after the game. We didn't have anybody.
bought conference missouri played tough valley winning
The Missouri Valley Conference bought games. And they all have winning records. Did I (say) that they all played tough teams? No. Look at their non-conference schedules.

All of a sudden our schedule stinks, even though we've played these other tough games.

Please make a basket. Make a free throw. Kick it in. We played bad and I coached bad. ... we did it together.
ended game kept played
I have no idea. We just kept saying, 'Take it hard.' You know, the game ended up being played in a way that we couldn't get it changed, couldn't make the plays.
beaten gave houston played
Obviously, Houston gave us a game. (The Cougars) could have, should have beaten us they played so well.
college concern fine guard high nba played playing steal style whether
My concern with Darius has nothing to do with offense; he'll be fine on offense, ... It has to do with whether he can guard the position. Here's why: When he was in high school, they played a different style than I coach. It was, 'press all over and try to steal the ball.' You can't play in college or the NBA that way -- you have to guard somebody. Now that he's playing for me, it's going to be different.
stunned watched worry
I think you're all stunned when they say that we haven't watched any tape. Does that stun you? I don't want them to worry about Bradley. ... You worry about us.
