We were very fortunate to win the game tonight. We have spent a lot of time talking about adversity. We had four games go to the end and we've lost all four. ... We just didn't win, but we kept digging.
Basketball is that kind of game. This is why college basketball is the best game going because of the unpredictability.
The most important thing to me is to be playing well. We need to win some games away from Alumni Gym because the tournament isn't being played there.
We balanced our schedule out the best that we could. We are fortunate to have a lot of home games early. Our players are very excited about the upcoming season. Hopefully, we'll be taking our program to a good place.
In tournament basketball, a lot can happen in five days. Some teams will come in who might have lost a couple of games at the end of the season and all of a sudden they hit a couple of shots and they're a force to be reckoned with.
You always go into a game thinking, 'If we do these things, we'll be right there. We did those things. Our kids pulled it together.
