credit exploited quickly second taking wind
You've got to give them credit for taking that wind out of us very quickly in the second half. They exploited us every way we could be exploited.
bit credit handful jeff matter wanting whom work
He was a handful no matter whom it was (guarding him). I thought Jeff made him work a little bit harder. You have to give Vincent a lot of credit but you also have to give Jeff credit for wanting that (assignment).
believer considered experience goes good people somebody time
I'm a believer in both. Being old school, I always considered the NIT such a prestigious tournament. I'm somebody who would be very disappointed if it went away. Any time young people can experience the post-season and what goes into post-season play, it's a good thing.
empty shoot shot work
You can't have an empty possession, come down and shoot a 20-footer, or take a shot off one pass. You've got to really try and work that defense.
couple week within
Hopefully, we'll have a couple new hires here within the week or so.
either great inside key load
He's a load in the paint, and I think he's a big key to their team. He's great with either hand, and they really like to get it inside to him.
brown imposed jeff job less
Jeff Horner has imposed his will on this tournament. I thought the job he did on Brown was outstanding. What he did (against the Gophers) was no less than incredible.
developed players
They've really developed some toughness. The players get it done between the lines.
adam against best complete cut effort tough year
That was the best he's cut all year and against a very tough defense, too. That was a complete effort out of Adam tonight.
coming games heck home hope win
That's a heck of a stretch. Now we've got two very big home games coming up, and we have to win those games and hope something else happens.
experience hard league win
It was our first experience to be here (first place) by ourselves. Everyone was a little too uptight. You have to go through it first; that's why I think it's very hard to win a league championship.
defended felt high possession rate seems until
It seems like we didn't get any stops. I felt like we really defended well until the 8-minute mark. After the 8-minute mark, they scored at a really high rate from possession to possession.
focused handle team tremendous year
I've been in it long enough - I can handle all that. We really are focused on what we're doing. This has been a tremendous ride. What this team has accomplished this year has been phenomenal.
journey midst obviously special team tremendous win
Obviously a tremendous, tremendous win for our team and our program. We're in the midst of a very special journey right now.
