approach ball easy eye foul james marvelous next player playing propensity stay trouble turn
I never know from game-to-game if James is going to stay out of foul trouble or make easy shots. He has a propensity to turn the ball over. I never know from game-to-game where James is this year. Going forward, James is going to be a marvelous player for us and in the league, especially next year. But this year, I keep an eye on how he's playing and what his approach is.
against caught difference game guy huge hurt known player players role step uncommon
That caught all of us off guard. That's a huge difference in the game is that you have a guy who's not known as a scorer, who's known as a role player ... in our losses, that's really what's hurt us: Some role players step up and make some uncommon 3s against us.
beat dangerous extremely presents problems proven team
I think Canisius presents a lot of problems because they're terrific, defensively. If they're making shots, they're an extremely dangerous team because they've proven they can beat anybody.

James has made strides. There's a growing trust amongst his teammates that James is gonna come through if we get him going.
college great happy kids late playing rather record sleep
We don't have a great record playing in the afternoon, so I'm happy we have a late start. The kids like it, too. They would rather play late at night. College kids like to sleep in.

We are thrilled to be one of the programs to have an opportunity to be on TV. It's a huge bonus for the kids who have worked so hard ... to put us in this position.

Our bats didn't get going until late in the game. We missed out on some opportunities early.

Our backcourt gives us an advantage in most games. Not necessarily in the Iona game. But most other games, we have an advantage. We never know from game to game who's going to score the ball.
college continues proud teammate terrific year
Really, the thing I'm most proud about is, he continues to get better each year that he's been in college. He's a terrific kid, but he's a better teammate for our program.

I think his effort, his communication skills and his willingness to do all the little things has really helped our team immeasurably.
developing floor guard guy harder move myriad ryan score situations skills
We move him around the floor and put him in a lot of situations where he could score in a myriad of ways. I think it's harder to guard a guy like Ryan when he is developing his skills and he's never in the same place on consecutive possessions.

We fought like heck but we didn't have enough.

I expect more games like this, the way we shot it.

He had to fight for every shot and every point.
