human nature stop
When you're up like that it's human nature just to be like, 'We've got this game. But we've got to stop doing that.
hats kept
When we went up early, I think we kind of thought that was it, that they were going to give up. You've got to take your hats off to them. They kept on fighting.

Sometimes it takes just one game to boost you to the next level. If he plays like that, he's well on his way.
boost game next played takes
Sometimes, it only takes one game to boost you to the next level. The way he played tonight, he's well on his way.
crunch
It's crunch time. We don't really have a choice. If we want to make the playoffs, that's what we have to do.
half happening lose opposite second total win
The second half was the total opposite of the first half. If things don't change, the same thing is going to keep happening - win a game, lose a game.

They don?t really have nothing to lose. They?re just coming out relaxed, loose, they?re at home. If you don?t come ready to play, you can easily lose. They?re professionals, so you can?t take them lightly.
bulls game games played pull quit stay
Going down the stretch, it's disappointing when you don't play well, especially when you've got opportunities to win. Just about every game we've played down the stretch, we just couldn't pull them out, so it's more disappointing than anything. The Bulls keep losing, so we're still in the playoffs. We've got 16 games left, got to stay with it, just can't quit and keep trying.

I was looking in their huddle, they were laughing, joking, they knew they were going to come out with the win. There's just that confidence of been there, done that. They know how to win games. They're not worried.

I would say that this part of Pennsylvania has the best wrestling in the country.

It felt different this time. All the other games were emotional. This game felt like we were supposed to win. We did that and we move on.
biggest consistent instead lose relying score stay stops together tough
When you lose a 30-point-a-game scorer, it's always going to be tough to score on a consistent basis. I think that's the biggest thing. We've got to stay together and try to get stops at the end instead of relying on scoring.
keeps learning shows
When it keeps happening, it shows that we're not learning from our mistakes. We keep doing the same things, and that's the frustrating part.
good seven stay
We?re 5-2 after the break. If we could go 5-2 every seven games, we?d have a good record. We just have to stay up and not get down.
