We talked about this being the team that beat us in the tournament at practice yesterday. Hopefully we got that bad game out of our system for the year in the second Kent State game.
It's a new season. We've got a good opportunity in front of us. But we came last year as a higher seed and we ended up getting beat. We don't want to have that be repeated again so we have to get back on track.
This is a perfect example of what we've been trying to preach to them all year about rebounding being a key and making free throws being a key.
(Losing on senior night) last year was kind of a bummer. But as least we got a win tonight and we've got a lot of people out there supporting them.
The last four minutes, we buckled down and played really good (man-to-man) defense, and we got some key buckets. A year ago we probably wouldn't have finished this game. Now we're finishing games.
