complaints-and-complaining game home
No complaints. We had the first game on our home court. This is probably how it should be.
brought bump couple everybody games hard hit league losing might playing together
It's hard not to hit a bump in this league because everybody is so good. We're playing a little better. I think losing a couple of games might have brought us together as a team.
difference game hit shots tough
The difference in the game was that it 50 to 50, and they hit shots and we didn't during that stretch. Jacobson made some tough, tough shots.
game good guys notice simple supposed
You don't want to notice them. You don't notice the really good ones. Those guys ref the game the way it's supposed to be called. Simple as that.
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.
bad battle constantly fun game hard race says year
The four-way race has been fun. It says a lot about our league. There are no bad teams. Every game is hard and you can't take anything for granted. It's been a challenging year for everybody. You don't get a day off. You are constantly going from one battle to the next.
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.
happiness proud
I was just so proud and so happy. I can't even tell you.
late showing start
Hopefully, they'll start showing up on time. Showing up late to things is not the way to do it.
coaching high kid kids moment numbers school smart start
His numbers in high school didn't lie. And then you start coaching the kid and he's so smart about the game. Those are the kind of kids we have to find to have a moment like this.
kept
I thought we had them at that point, but they kept making shots.
amount changes good hopefully lucky months ncaa next six takes tournament
I think it takes a significant amount of doing well in the NCAA Tournament before it changes your recruiting. But hopefully we'll get lucky over the next six months and get some good players.
closing cover four good ground guy might minutes playing running shot sudden turned
The first four minutes we got any shot we wanted. Then they turned it up. The thing about SIU... is you might think it's a good look and then all of a sudden there's a guy running at you and closing and playing it and with unbelievable effort. The ground that they cover is just amazing.
pressure
There's more pressure on us to play well.
