beginning came committed flat played second
We came out flat in the second half. We came out and committed two costly fouls at the beginning of the half. We just played sluggish.
build coming conference games pick played second teams tonight view weekend win
If we can pick up these two (TSU tonight and Prairie View A&M on Monday) at home, we'll be in much better shape. We've got a lot of the better teams in the conference coming to our place in the second half. We've played well at home. We need to win these games this weekend and build on them.
couple dominate forced game guards guys hit inside second
The inside guys started to dominate us a little in the second half. That forced us to have to go a zone, and then their guards hit a couple of 3-pointers that put the game out of reach.
loss physical pushing team
I think this loss just showed that they're more physical and more mature. I told my team we need to keep pushing it, but that's what (Quincy) did. That's what an experienced team does.
assumed bottom guys lay mentally teams
We just weren't mentally prepared. I think the guys just assumed that teams at the bottom (of the conference) would lay down for us.
game played power
We used our power game when we had too. We got right down there and played the aggressors.
against couple fighting fights-and-fighting games guys last playing playoff sports team trying understand
We've been fighting for the last couple of games to keep these guys focused. We're trying to get them to understand that when you're playing against a team fighting for their playoff lives, they're going to give it everything they've got.
attack ball foul free guys shoot throw trouble
We did what we wanted to do. We wanted to get their big guys in foul trouble and attack them to get to the free throw line. We accomplished that goal, but we just couldn't make a free throw tonight. We just didn't shoot the ball well.
ball early game hurry push trying
I don't think we were intimidated. Early on in the game we were just trying to hurry the ball and push the ball to make them run, but I don't think intimidation was a factor.
bother came good lost practice ready seems
I'll tell you, they came out ready to practice. Nothing much seems to bother these guys. They haven't lost their confidence. And that's good to see. That's only going to make things better.
holes line offensive
The offensive line is just amazing. They made the holes for me and I was able to get through them.
match sort
At first it was sort of awkward. Now, everybody's getting used to it. Overall, we just need to be able to match out intensity.
explain feeling great greatest
This is a great feeling. The greatest I've had here. I can't even explain it, but I know one thing, I want to keep on feeling it.
blame following guys tough
The guys were really down following that game. I can't blame them. It was a tough one to take.
