aggressive couple decisions fact free good guys happy job last needed pushed run seven situation stayed staying throws
I thought our guys did a good job of staying aggressive the last couple of minutes. We probably didn't make as many good decisions as we needed to be making in that situation but, overall, when they made their run and got back in it, we stayed with it. We pushed it back out there and made some free throws at the end. I'm happy with the fact that we had only seven turnovers and the job we did on the boards.

I told our guys before the game that the key would be what we got from our bench. I watched our last game (KSU) where we bogged down on the offensive end. Obviously, A.J. came up big. They did a great job of double-teaming the post.
basketball chase commitment dream early education five four last leave major playing reason reflection school score seniors success sure true year
The major reason for our score is we had four of our five seniors leave school early last year to chase their dream of playing professionally. I'm not sure the score is a true reflection to the commitment and success we've had when it comes to education in our basketball program.

I thought they were great defensively, maybe as good a defensive effort as I've seen this year. They really realize their athletic ability. They can create a lot of problems.

I saw it. It was a clean block. There's no need to talk any more about it.
