half last second slip team won
We went up to Connecticut last year. We should've won the game. We were up 15 in the second half and let it slip away, and Connecticut has the same team this year. We've got a better team. It's going to be an interesting game.
bench guys high kid played school since spark team
That's the way I've played since I was a kid in AAU and in high school. We need guys that can come off the bench and give the team a spark and make a run. That's what I did tonight.
bit good great hard open player stay teammates willing work
He's a great player and his teammates are really good at getting him open shots. So it won't be easy. But you just have to stay with it and stay with it. You have to be willing to work as hard as he is working and probably just a little bit harder.
felt game guess hit hurts lose losing move rather situation team
Sometimes in a situation like that, you'd just rather lose that game by 40 than to lose it by one like that. Losing like that, it hurts me more. To me, I felt like I let my team down. I know I could have hit that shot, but I guess you've just got to move on.
fought four hard honor season team weeks
It's an honor to play for him. This team has fought real hard to get where we've gotten. Four weeks ago, we could have let the season go, but we've fought hard.
defense fights-and-fighting games second shoot team trying ways win
We have to keep fighting, trying to find ways to win the game. As a team we know we can win games if we shoot in the 30s -- if we play defense like we did in the second half.
education eligible grades last talked tv
Without an education, they won't ever see us on TV because we wouldn't be eligible to play. So, you've got to have an education to even get this far. But like I talked to them last year, it's all about getting the grades first.
next whoever
Whoever we play next week, we know we can go in and get a win.
felt great stay
It felt great to get to this point. But we have to stay humble.
defense five guys playing time
There are just too many times when we have one or two guys who take time off on defense. You can't have that. You've got to have all five guys playing defense on every possession.
good left missed rush time tried
We got two good looks. I think I tried to rush it because I didn't know how much time was left on the clock, and I just missed it. I thought it was going in.
anybody everybody next positive start today
The positive today is that we just know we can play with anybody at any time. Going into next week, we'll start it all over again. Everybody will be back to 0-0.
game hard situation
We are pretty much in a situation where we need every game now. We need to play as hard as we can to get a victory.
hit hitting settling
We started settling for a lot of jumpers. Jumpers that we usually hit we weren't hitting tonight, and that killed us.
