four guy hands holding kept team telling whose
I just kept telling the guys, 'I don't know whose team that is out there, but it's not us on offense,'... Four of them holding their their hands up and one guy going one-on-one -- it was a little frustrating.
night thrilled
I really don't know what to say. I'm thrilled with the win. We're 2-0 in the league, but every night is going to be a battle.
best east fired league
I don't know if it's a measuring stick. But I do know one thing: we're fired up to play a Big East school. It's the best league in the country.
I just want to get this out of the way: I'm staying.
bit good kept practice saying sweet
I kept saying we weren't any good when practice started, and now we're part of the Sweet 16. We just keep getting a little bit better.
control count nine shot
I couldn't get them under control in the first half. I just couldn't. They thought if they made a shot it would count as nine points.
bunch country people proud scrutiny seen
I do think we got some scrutiny that we didn't deserve. We're really proud of what we've done. We weren't going to let a bunch of people around the country who haven't seen us tell us any different.
likes sean unselfish
I do think they're unselfish players. Paul's an unselfish kid. Sean likes to shoot, but he also likes to pass. P.J.' s more of a passer than he is a scorer.
good halftime strong style win
It's a big win because of the way we won. That wasn't our style of game. I told them at halftime that we're not very good at football, but we've got to play football. We had to be strong and go at the basket.
easier helps playing
It really helps playing Drake. Only having one day to prepare, it was easier for us. I don't know if it was easy, but it was easier.
arena basketball bigger people played
It's just a basketball game. It's just played in a bigger arena with more people watching.
anybody asked figured game looked might though win
I told anybody who asked me that I thought we were going to play well offensively. We were fresh. We might have figured out a way to win the game 65-63 if we didn't make shots. But because we did it looked easy, even though it actually wasn't.
hit missed
They hit shots, and we didn't during that stretch. We had two wide-open threes and missed them both.
playing plug system
They've just been really playing well. I think they just keep the same system and plug him in there.
