We have to sell our program. The amount of exposure certainly helps. It helps fan interest and recruiting.
ball break bring good helping men shoot stop team
We had our (big) men helping bring the ball up. So, if we were able to break the press, we had good scorers who were able to stop and shoot on the other end. This team is getting smarter, and we know who should take (the shots).

I think it hurts because Brent is our best defender.

He's so unselfish. He has really embraced the things we talk about with. He's worked on taking care of the basketball and playing defense. He's asked himself to do everything I've asked him to do.

We played better, we played harder and took better care of the ball, I thought our effort was pretty good.

We have to play the hottest team in the conference and we didn't play particularly well against them last time. Stetson has as good of a chance as anyone to win this thing. We need everybody operating on all cylinders.

We did an outstanding job of controlling the ball. Offensively, we moved it around effectively and efficiently against their zone. Defensively, we trapped and got North Florida out their rhythm. That was a great effort by our team.

He has gotten better at defense, and his shooting has improved. If any one player won the game for us, it was him.

I was proud of the way we cut the lead. We could have hung our heads and it could have been a 20- or 25-point loss. It's not a moral victory, but at this point you have to look at the entire season and I'm proud of those guys.
bit bunch divorce eggs either enjoyable genuinely good grocery guys laugh reminisce throw
It's like any divorce. If you see your ex-wife at the grocery store, either she's going to throw a bunch of eggs at you, or you're going to have a genuinely enjoyable conversation. To be able to see those guys and laugh with them and reminisce a little bit was good for my soul.
ball decent throw
We couldn't throw the ball in the ocean. We got decent looks, we just couldn't make a basket.
