deserved iowa state
Iowa State deserved to win. They outplayed us for 39 minutes.
advantage felt game percent rebound shoot shot
If you told me before the game we would have a 29-20 rebound advantage and shoot 54 percent (28-for-52), I thought we would have won. It felt like they shot 105 percent.
call either
That call could have could have went either way. Sometimes you've just got to have a break.
gains gets good gotten great maturity player
As he's gotten healthy, he's gotten better and better. He's got a great feel for the game. He can do a lot more things than he's doing right now. As he gets older, gains maturity in this program, he's going to be a really good player in this league.
colorado extend figure reason trying
Colorado must be trying to figure out how much they want to extend it by. That's the only reason he wouldn't have an extension.
discipline ethic huge lift proponent weight work
I'm a huge proponent of weight training. We lift at 6 because of the work ethic required, the discipline and doing the right thing. It makes them accountable. It makes them be on time.
attitude hard love missed weight workout
Every workout we've had D.J. has been there. He hasn't missed one thing. And he's been great. I love his attitude and his work ethic. He's working hard in the weight room, and he's working hard on the court.

Iowa State deserved to win. They out-played us for 39 minutes. We had no answer for Blalock and Stinson.
easily game good hit week win
This was really important. We could be 0-3, if Terrell doesn't hit that shot. But we could easily be 3-0, too. It was good to win this game and have a week off.
happy hard lose won
We were happy we won those games, but you could just tell that we didn't have our edge. When you lose your edge, it's hard to get back.
crowd handle hard last played time
We couldn't have played any better for 34 minutes. We had the crowd out of the game. It's disappointing. This one is hard to handle because I thought we outplayed them for a long time and they outplayed us the last 6 minutes.
attribute good great kids playing win
We're playing good enough to win, and that's a great attribute to have. Our kids know how to win games.
athletics campaign character college creating experience future honored huge involved plays role special total
UNCP is a very special place to me, and I'm honored to be involved in a campaign that is as important to Pembroke's future as this is. Athletics is a huge part of the total college experience ... it plays a huge role in molding character and creating tradition.
common-sense might able
From a common-sense standpoint, you're probably on the right road. The problem is, you're opening a can of worms you might not be able to shut. That might cause more problems than it solves.
