complete half passing screening second shots tough
That was a tough second half for us. Our screening and passing weren't there, and our shots weren't falling. It's like the second half was a complete reversal of the first.
ball half move reverse screening second shot
The second half was pretty much the reverse of the first half. Our screening wasn't as good, we didn't move the ball as well and shot 5-for-20 (from the field).
minutes next offense played second
I thought we played well on offense for the first 4 minutes of the second half. The next four, however, we didn't have it. And that's where they made their run.
cut effort factor fantastic fought half hard key pressure second
We had a fantastic effort in the second half and we fought hard just to come back. Toledo put on a lot of pressure in the first half, but we were able to cut down our turnovers in the second, which has been a key factor for us all year.
fought good hard james loss
James wasn't able to go. He had been doing a good job, and him not being there was a big loss for us, but we fought hard and competed really hard all game.
basketball best game good home knew school start state
Kent State is a very good basketball team. They're off to their best start in school history, and we knew it was going to be a challenge, as just about every home game has been for us.

James has been a defensive presence for our team. And his ability to protect the basket has improved all year.

Toledo is the hottest team in the league. They have won eight in a row and shoot real well. They are going to be a big challenge. We are going to need a very focused effort.
half last less three
We had done well in the turnover department. We had 10 or less in the last three games, but the first half made the difference. We had to continually try to come back.
character deep defense definitely dug half heart hole pressure
We definitely showed a lot of character and heart to come back the way we did. In the first half we dug a very deep hole with Toledo's pressure defense and 14 turnovers.
bad ben benefit consistent hopeful last recover several team
We feel bad for Ben because his consistent play has been a real benefit to our team the last several games. It's unfortunate, but we're hopeful that he'll recover quickly.
continue game outcome tournament
The outcome of the game is important for us to continue to play well. Sometimes seeding for a tournament can be deceptive.
ball tried
We tried to go over ball screens, we tried to go under ball screens, we tried to go through ball screens. We tried everything.

Senior day is really a special day. I could tell at our morning shoot-around that these guys were really focused. Everyone went out there and made sure that NIU would get the win.
