difference fortunate key tough win
We were very, very fortunate to win the game. We made some tough 3s down the stretch, and we were able to get one or two key turnovers, and I thought that was the only difference in the game.
committee fortunate win
If we are fortunate to win the tournament, I think it will give the (NCAA selection) committee something to consider.
basketball believe best caught couple god impressed left playing season thank truly wins
I was so impressed with St. Bonaventure tonight. It's kind of unfortunate they're playing their best basketball now. I truly believe they got a couple wins left in them. Unfortunately, the season has kind of caught up to them a little bit. We were pretty nervous. Thank God for our experience. That was the only difference.
basketball elder fantastic knows played prepared statesman team temple win
Temple played a fantastic game. The elder statesman showed that he still knows how to get a team up and prepared to win a basketball game.
final point win
If you're going to go to the Final Four, win the Final Four, at some point you're going to have to play Duke.
among due experience gate inside lack pops tonight
I thought we got out of the gate pretty early. Pops established our inside presence, which is what we wanted to do tonight due to the lack of experience among their inside guys.
climb deal good great hard lost mountain played program team tough
I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.
balance changing defense switching throw trying withers zones
I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
level playing point season
I think we still have a way to go. I want to get to the point where we're playing at the level we need to play at. Because very shortly it's going to come down to one game, one play and that's my focus. We need to be at the level where its one play and your season is over.
record work
I think Duke's record is 32-3. They don't have to work out any kinks.
recruit
We recruit and do things the right way.
establish game guy hard inside missed trying
We really missed him today, particularly just trying to establish an inside game to establish a tone. He's a hard guy to replace.
admit deny solve zone
We couldn't solve that zone today. That was our problem. As a coach, I don't like to admit it, but I can't deny the truth.
establish inside offense pops
We wanted to go into Pops and establish the inside position. We competed at all times, and at times our offense was magnificent.
