definitely games hurts locker ncaa type win
It definitely hurts in the locker room. We're an NCAA (Tournament) team. We've just got to win these games. These are the type of games that you need to win to put you over the top.
bowl football ncaa opens team tournament
Getting to the NCAA Tournament is so special. It's like our football team getting to their first bowl game. It opens a lot of doors. And there's nothing like the first time.
against backs ncaa needed tonight win
Before the game, we told them our backs are against the wall. Tonight was a must win. If we wanted to go to the NCAA Tournament, we needed to win tonight, and I think they responded.
against ahead backs excellent game kids ncaa needed opportunity
Before the game, we told our kids our backs were against the wall. This was the most important game of the year. If we wanted to go to the NCAA Tournament, we needed to win. And the kids responded. They have an excellent opportunity ahead of them.
christmas committee hopefully ncaa open present santa selection waiting
It's like the build-up to Christmas, waiting to open the big present under the tree. You don't know what you're going to get. Hopefully the NCAA selection committee is like a whole big Santa Claus.
ball break christmas coming country good north played practices prepared ranked shot team
I thought we had two good practices coming back from Christmas break and thought we were prepared for North Florida. Now we have the No. 3 ranked team in the country (LSU) to prepare for. We're 10-2 now and I like the way we played in the first half. I think we ran our lanes well and shot the ball well.
absolutely basketball excuse half halves played second since understand value worst
I thought the first half was one of the worst halves we've played since I've been here. It was just absolutely terrible. We didn't make shots, we had no value for the basketball and we didn't get second shots. I don't understand it. We've already played 19 games, and to come out and play how we played, there's no excuse for it.
attention great happy hard paid summer work
I'm happy for her. She's had a great year. Her hard work in the summer has really paid off. It's great she's getting the attention she deserves.
deep jackson
Jackson has been in and out of the doghouse all year, she's been deep in there. And we're not a deep team.
defensive feet good happy job
I was very happy by the way we responded without her being on the floor. They are doing a good job going after her on the defensive end. She's just got to play with her feet and not her hands.
basketball brought energy enthusiasm good hand team ton whatever
We're not a very good basketball team right now. But hand it to them, I thought they brought a ton of energy and they brought a ton of enthusiasm and they made plays. And they did whatever they wanted to do. I'm embarrassed that we didn't give a better showing.
easily lighten lost maybe played three took
Well, maybe now everyone will lighten up. Maybe they'll get back on the bandwagon. We lost three games; the season's not over. We could very easily be 5-0 in the league, because we played well tonight, took 70 shots. That's a lot of possessions.
bad beat home
To come in here and beat us on our home floor, it's very disappointing, very disheartening. It's a bad loss.
proven question schedule schools
If other schools question why they didn't make it and we did, they should schedule differently. We've proven we belong.
