came couple finish glass good half hurt inability leads offensive
I thought we had a couple of good leads in each half and we didn't finish either. It came down to our inability to keep them off the offensive glass and turnovers. That really hurt us.
came inability key transition
Transition and turnovers were key to this game. It really came down to our inability to keep them off the glass, and the turnover ratio.
came everybody focus games nine since tells
We're 7-2 in the nine games since that came up. That tells everybody where our focus has been.
both came coaching feet guy key kids player special time wants
I've had a lot of special kids in my coaching career, but this guy ? he just wants it. And, he doesn't want to take time off. He's a special player who's the key to our team. He came back with both feet in.
both came complete either glass good halves inability leads
We had good leads in both halves and we couldn't complete either half. It came down to our inability to keep them off the off glass and the turnover-assist ratio.
came four maybe picked weekend
I think we came here as a four seed, maybe a five, but what we did this weekend picked us up.
came maybe obviously pushed weekend work
I think we probably came in here as a No. 4 seed, maybe even a No. 5. Because of our work this weekend it's pushed us into a No. 3 seed, which is obviously very special.
came inability offensive
I really think it came down to our inability to keep them off the offensive glass.
came gave half james patient second
I thought Dee was awfully patient and then James came back in the second half and gave them a big lift. But Randle and McBride were probably the difference.
came obviously wanting
We came in wanting to make something different happen, but obviously that didn't happen.
good start
I thought this was a good way to start the tournament.
goes opens percent
It goes without being said how important he is to our offense. Him being 100 percent opens things up for us defensively.
defending defensive effort exciting good great improvement job team
I think we are a better defending team. I still think we have a long way to go and we have done a lot of improvement in that area. That is exciting because I think we have done a pretty good job through 17 games. All-in-all it has been a great team effort in the defensive end.
family gets hits public runs soon ways
I think there are some things that you feel personally, from a family standpoint, that when it hits the public it runs a whole different avenue. And it gets out there in ways that shouldn't even be out there. I'd just as soon keep the whole thing personal.
