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.
ended expected great nobody picked proud starter
We made great progress. The expectations were low. We had only one starter back. We were picked 10th. Nobody expected us to be here, so I'm really proud of our effort, but you're disappointed the way it ended up. Being up 49-45, you had a chance.

We've been in that situation before and we haven't done a great job of closing out games. It was a tough shot. When it comes down to the playoffs and two teams have equal talent, a lot of it's luck.

days deal five francis gets gone home hours learn leave northeast situation toughest travel trip
(Robert Morris) and St. Francis have the toughest travel. There are times we are gone for five days at a time. We just got back from a two-game trip and were home for 24 hours and had to leave again.
