pool running workouts
Pool workouts are great, but it's not running up and down the hardwood 94 feet.
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).
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.

There's obviously a work ethic that goes into it. (Brunner) is a very special big man who has played here.

They've earned it. They worked awfully hard. But there's a lot that can happen in February.

The legacy (the seniors) leave will last long after this year is over. But we still have a lot of work to do.

The staff really worked hard at trying to get (players) to forget about what happened Saturday. The seniors then did the rest.

Our recruiting efforts have been built on establishing positive relationships, and that was a key factor in Tyler choosing our program. I appreciate the hard work (associate head coach) Craig Neal puts forth in his recruiting efforts. Those efforts are paying dividends for the program.

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.

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.

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.
