bad biggest both good guys kids places program returning
The biggest thing, a lot of those kids pitching-wise did not have a lot of experience. We went 7-7 in the league, which isn't good, and most of the returning guys know that. They know the bad and the good of the program and most of those guys have been in both places - they've been through the 14-0 and the 7-7.

I think it was absurd and the court thankfully reversed itself.
ball clubs confident guys normally played stage took tough
I think it was stage fright. I just didn't see that confident look these guys normally have. And we've played tough ball clubs all year. That really took me by surprise.

I think we can hit the ball a little better than we did. I'm not happy with some of our swings at the plate, but that's going to come. We can't complain about 10 hits.

cincinnati everybody game ideally jersey locker playing room teams wants wearing win
Everybody in that locker room wearing a Cincinnati jersey wants to win. There's not a lot of teams still playing now, not a lot of teams still practicing. It's not ideally where we want to be, but if we play our game the way we should, we can win the NIT.
focus game offense players
We just wanted our players to focus on our game and play more efficiently on offense and defense. I think we were able to do that.
address cause exist interest worthy
Right now, it doesn't exist and never has existed. It would be a worthy cause to address the tribes' interest in Washington, D.C.
