against anyone chance conference everybody good hottest last operating team win
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.

They have to embrace the excitement. These three days can create memories that last a lifetime.
best create days embrace last memories nervous three time
It's the best time of the year, and these three days can create memories that will last a lifetime. I told them to embrace it and not get nervous about it.
both driving evident improved knack last passing paul
They both have improved a lot. Paul has a real knack for driving to the basket, and his passing was evident last night.
effort
I thought the effort was there, but we just weren't making our shots.
accomplish burns challenge emotions exciting fire group high highs impact low men moves remember spend time titans together tv watching year
I think so. This year I want to spend time with my family, do some TV and see where the fire burns after the season. I was watching Remember the Titans the other day, and it made me think about the emotions you go through. There's nothing that moves you emotionally like coaching. You have high highs and low lows, and to be able to have an impact on young people, to get a group of young men together and accomplish a goal, that is a real exciting challenge for me. You don't get that in any other profession.
experience
We are the hunted, and that is a new experience for our guys.

Rodney is a tough kid. He really has a good work ethic and is one of the hardest working players I've been around.

best hurts
I think it hurts because Brent is our best defender.
ball care easy free good gordon picking points safety
Stetson scored 23 points off turnovers. We have to take care of the ball and take good shots. We have to make the easy play because Gordon sits back there like a free safety picking off passes.
execute half maybe tried
I was very disappointed in the first half with the way we played. We were not sharp. Maybe I tried to get them too jacked up. Maybe we were too aggressive. We didn't execute well.
attend concern paul philly rally
It doesn't rally concern us, because he didn't attend Philly Lutheran. Paul had already graduated.
