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.
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.
forget guy hitting night senior shot
You never forget a night like that, senior night and a guy hitting a shot at the buzzer.
hurt selection shot
Our shot selection hurt us in the first half, hurt our defense, and that was really disappointing.
hurt selection shot valiant
Our shot selection hurt us in the first half. After that I thought we (gave) a valiant effort.
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.
bad execution played second shots three took
Our execution was really, really good, especially in the second half. We only took three bad shots the whole game. We really played unselfish.
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.
pressure
There's more pressure on us to play well.
