guy karl mean plays
He plays like Karl Malone tonight, I mean the guy was phenomenal, just an unbelievable game. He was the difference, there was no question.
chance
It's unbelievable what they've done and, hopefully, we'll get a chance to keep playing.
four free key plays stepped throws
Davidson stepped up and made those four free throws at the end. We made some key plays at key times.
balanced both definition ends sound team win
That's the definition of a team win on both ends of the floor. We were as balanced offensively as we have been all year. Defensively, we were as fundamentally sound as we were all year.
bad explain hang start taking tried ugly
I tried to explain to them that this could get ugly this year. When they start taking bad about Daddy, just hang in there.
basketball condition good handle legs players shape underneath
It's important to have our legs back underneath us. But the players are in pretty good shape and in good basketball condition and can handle it pretty well.
challenge compete offensive ready
They have so many different offensive weapons. We know it's going to be an unbelievable challenge to try and compete with them, so we're going to have to go out and get ready to play.
clock flawless game hitting needed played running shot tough
They made every shot they needed to even if the shot clock was running down, hitting tough ones. They really played about a flawless game from my perspective.
attack believer defend point team weapons
They made a believer out of me. They have so many different weapons to defend that can attack you. Every team you play at this point is pretty good. But they are really good.
beat bomb kept telling
They kept telling me on the bus, 'The bomb isn't going to beat us, coach.
couple december finals full middle players sat sit turn until week
It wasn't until the middle of December that things started to turn for him. In hindsight, I should have sat him a couple of games. He wanted to play, like all players do. We had that full week during finals where we were able to sit him and I think that helped.
bark good great league point
It just legitimizes our conference. We always want to bark about how good our league is, yet at some point you have to back it up. I think our whole league did great in the tournament.
close gesture great night number senior shows wear
It was a great gesture by Evan Brock. Unselfish. To wear Chuck's number on (Brock's) senior night just shows how close we all are as a team.
opportunity time
I wanted to play Felix but didn't have an opportunity. I didn't feel the time was right.
