depending few happens next shake ways
There's a lot of different ways it could shake out depending on what happens the next few days.
close difficult everybody fell short six win
We really haven't had everybody together, so that's made it a little difficult at times. We thought we could win six games, but we fell a little short of that. Overall, though, we're pretty close to where we thought we would be at this point.
ball easy forced played pressure
We played much better defensively. We put more pressure on the ball and forced a lot of turnovers. That enabled us to get some easy baskets.
ball view
I know Prairie View isn't a towering team, but we rebounded the ball much better.
along expected knew missing past piece playing since steady stepped
I knew he had the injury, but we expected him to be a little more productive. He's playing like we expected him to play all along now. He was a missing piece for a while, but he's been real steady since then. He's really stepped up big these past two games.
afford against battling easy expect free game good guys late missed normally proud quality shot shots southern team winning
I'm real proud of these guys for battling the way they did tonight. We had a good shot of winning the game there late in the game. But we missed some easy shots that we normally make. And we missed some free throws. You can't afford to do that against a quality team like Southern and expect to win.
guys importance understand urgency
I think our guys understand the importance of this trip. We need to play with urgency and play with a purpose.
best bring doubt exposure gives help hopefully television
Hopefully being on television will bring out the best in us. No doubt, it gives us more exposure and it should help in recruiting. I think it's a win-win situation.
bit came couple hit playing
He came in and hit a couple of big shots. I may need to look at playing him a little bit more.
best goes happened happens player players step
That happens sometimes when a team's best player goes out. Other players step up and that's what happened tonight.
emotional guys leaving
It's going to be emotional I'm sure. Those guys are like family, and now they're going to be leaving the house.
ball best defended games good minute shot trying tune
That was one of his best games as a Tiger. He defended really well, he shot the ball well and he made good decisions. I thought he was in tune with what we were trying to do every minute he was on the floor.
ball free game huge throws tough turn
That was a tough one, real tough. We had some costly turnovers at the end. I thought we pretty much had the game in hand. But they got those two free throws and then we turn the ball over. Those were huge plays.
came game gone helped plays tonight win
We don't give out a game ball, but if I had tonight it probably would've gone to Hilton. I thought he was outstanding. He came in and made some big plays that helped us win the game.
