carrying game good jeremy job plan three tremendous
The game plan was not for A.J. to get two fouls in the first three minutes. Jeremy did a good job carrying us. He did a tremendous job in the first half.
dead game last
It was a game of runs. In essence, FDU had the last one -- and it was way too long. You just can't go dead for 10 minutes.
brings consistent effort game glad night played special terrific
He played really well. He's going to be a terrific player. I'm glad he's on our team. It was a big game and he's a big-time player. When he brings that effort every night and he brings it on a consistent basis, he can be a special player.

coach game gems guys harder knows nice opportunity perfect players playing rewarded
It is a little harder now, because every coach knows about players, and there aren't many gems who get overlooked. But this game was a perfect opportunity to see what other players could do. It is nice to see these guys get rewarded with playing time.
close game good hard knew played plays teams
I knew it was going to be a close game because you have two good undersized teams who try to out-scrap each other. We didn't always play well but we played hard and we made plays when we had to.

It is disappointing. But we didn't shoot well (Saturday), and it was another close loss for us. We have lost four games by five points.
certainly challenged contribute final game half huge kept passed second
Derek certainly kept us in the game in the first half, and A.J. was huge in the second half after I challenged him. Everyone did something to contribute to this victory. In the final seconds, it was gut-check time, and we passed the test.
closing games good job might
But we just didn't do a good job closing games out. That's disappointing. Part of it is we're young. We're inexperienced. We might tighten up. I'm not sure.
ball best confidence game good great played plays shot since
Derek played his best game since he's been here. He shot the ball with great confidence. He just was terrific. When he plays like that, we're a good team.
carrying game great jeremy job plan quick sit
Our game plan wasn't for A.J. to get two quick fouls and sit out. Jeremy did a great job carrying us in the first half.

The worst thing you can do in a game like this is come out and start slow and let them think they can compete. We showed them they wouldn't be able to compete.
days game grab somebody
If somebody told me that two days ago, let's play a game for 11 minutes, and you get a four-point lead, I'd grab that one.
