almost cost gets guys harder head jay last minutes played problem putting smith teams
I think we've had a problem putting teams away all year. They (CMU) played harder than us that last 15 minutes (of regulation) and it almost cost us. (CMU head coach) Jay Smith gets his guys to play hard for him.
key needed team
We needed to clinch Cleveland. That's a key for this team because we are not that deep.
depth hard leads negative people pure teams work
People can be negative about the leads we have lost, but I think a lot has to do with pure depth. We work hard to get the lead, but other teams have more depth and they come at you with that.
country prepared talking team traveled
They're prepared to play. Nervousness isn't going to be an issue. You're talking about a team that traveled the country after I left.
board games goes locker somebody teams whoever wins won word
We put on our board (in the locker room) the word 'spurt.' Teams play even. Then somebody goes on a spurt and then another. Most games are won by spurts. Whoever has the most spurts wins games.
belief believe biggest close difference doubt games kids last season teams won
The biggest difference between the two teams isn't talent, it's that belief factor. Teams that haven't won have that doubt in their mind. We won a lot of close games last season and our kids believe in themselves.
bit good played teams
They're every bit as good as any of the teams we've played if not better in a lot of respects.
below caught good last ncaa played shot team top tough tournament
It was a tough game. They shot well, and we played below average. They have been to the NCAA Tournament the last two years and were an AP Top 25 team before the season. We caught them on a good night.
build came good home trying
I think this is good for our program. We're trying to build a Nevada, Gonzaga, Xavier, Dayton (program). That's why I came home here.
goes great heart hope
Our heart goes out to (Collins). He?s a great player. We just hope he?s healthy.
everybody played
We played well only in stretches. Everybody was tired.
four good played schedule tribute
We've still survived, which is a tribute to our guys. We've played a good schedule with four high-major teams.
coach great group script since
For us to come in after 17 years of never being in the postseason since Coach Huggins was here, you couldn't write a better script then to play Temple. For a fledgling group like us, to come in and be able to play them is just a great honor.
glad monkey needed next program wins
I am glad to get the monkey off my back. The program needed the 20 wins more than anything to take that next jump. It's big for us.
