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).
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.
hard jeff minnesota particular stop
Jeff can get going. I don't think it was any particular thing that Minnesota didn't do or that we did. It was just hard for them to stop him, like it was hard for us to stop Vince.
imposed jeff
Jeff Horner has imposed his will on this tournament.
drake floor four guys hesitant injury jeff mad minutes practices ready seen
I think he was mad at me for the four minutes he sat. But he practices this hard. You should have seen Monday's practice; he was on the floor right away. A lot of other guys would have been hesitant with the injury that he had. But he was ready to play the Drake game. That's just who Jeff is.
good hard jeff players
Jeff can get going. Jeff's a very good player. And when good players get going, they're hard to stop.
decent gave jeff leads offensive plays shooter shut wants
Jeff plays all 40 minutes, leads us on the offensive end, but he wants to try to do what he can to shut down their shooter and he did a decent job. He gave us a chance.
jeff pain phenomenal second
I know Jeff was very much in pain. But he was phenomenal in the second half.
enthusiasm excitement guys unified weekend
I think it's great. You never like to lose. But I think because of the loss, the guys know what they have to do. There is more sense of an urgency. They've been unified the whole time. But I sense more excitement and enthusiasm over the weekend than any kind of pressure.
incredible journey midst special tremendous trying win
It's a tremendous win for our program. We're in the midst of a special journey. We're trying to win something. It's going to be an incredible battle, but this was a big hurdle.
conference easy fortunate game home remaining road sitting win
A win on the road is never easy in this league. We feel fortunate that we're sitting 3-4 (away from home in conference play) with one more game remaining on the road.
early failure game leave majority nature players stories success
I think the majority of the players who leave early aren't successful. You have more failure stories than success stories with that, but that's the nature of our game right now.
percent tape
He's fine. If he had to play today, he would probably have to tape it and go. But he's going to be 100 percent by Friday.
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.
