basketball gave hurt key poised second shots
They're a very poised basketball team. We gave up second shots at key times. That really hurt us.
chris guys key obvious rest swagger
It's obvious that Chris Quinn is such a key for us. He's just got to play with that swagger and the rest of the guys are confident. So is his coach.
certainly confident dribble explosive guard heck shooting
They're really athletic. They guard the heck out of you and certainly are very explosive off the dribble and shooting the 3-point shot. It's a very confident team.
absolutely anyone head jump sorry
You can't feel sorry for yourself. I think they know I'll jump them if anyone hangs their head or mopes around. That's the one thing that's absolutely unacceptable.
bit hoping
I was hoping we could play a little bit better.
feeling missed quirky shoot
I had a feeling he'd shoot it well. He usually does when he's missed a few. Shooters can be quirky guys.
close door eight elite last office reached sitting virginia west year
I know because I'm sitting in the seat. I think about last year when West Virginia -- which started 1-5 in the Big East, then reached the Elite Eight -- was struggling. They could close the door to the coach's office and say, 'At least we're going to New York.' Now we may not have that.
certainly coach goal head help learn public relations system
His goal is to become a head coach and he could be a head coach probably very soon. If you learn another system from another guy, that certainly can help your public relations when you become a head coach.
body weight
The weight of the world was on their shoulders. I think it showed up in play and in body language.
bit good hopefully locker smile smiles therapy
It was important for them to smile a little bit in the locker room. We haven't been able to do that in awhile. Hopefully that's good therapy for us as we get back to work.
basketball dug example fans fought good rally
I think our fans will rally with this group. There's one thing with this basketball team: They've fought and they've dug and they've been a pretty good example for people.
basketball build bunch coming court extending group guys practice season talk
I think we would really like to build on this. We've got a bunch of guys coming back. You know the one thing you want to do? I want to practice as long as I can with this team. ... Selfishly just from that standpoint, I want to keep extending the season so we can keep coming back on the court and talk basketball as a group as much as possible.
basketball chance early gave good ourselves played proud
I don't think we played very well early in the game. A lot of that was Georgetown. They're a very good basketball team. I'm just proud we gave ourselves a chance to win.
concerned front invested loose shot
At least in front of the guys, I was as loose as heck. I was disappointed because we've invested so much. I was just concerned that you don't think you have a shot any more.
